How to Say "This" and "That" in Arabic #learnarabic #arabic #islamic

In Arabic, distance changes the word you use for "this" and "that." In under 40 seconds, learn how to point to things near you (هٰذَا — hādhā) versus far away (ذٰلِكَ — dhālika), plus a simple memory trick so you never mix them up.

📖 What You'll Learn in Lesson 11 (Part 1):
• هٰذَا (hā · dhā) — "this" (for masculine words near you)
• ذٰلِكَ (dhā · li · ka) — "that" (for masculine words far from you)
• هٰذَا بَيْت (hādhā bayt) — This is a house
• ذٰلِكَ بَيْت (dhālika bayt) — That is a house
• ذٰلِكَ مَسْجِد (dhālika masjid) — That is a mosque

💡 Memory Trick:
The farther away something is, the longer the Arabic word:
• Near = 2 syllables (hā · dhā)
• Far = 3 syllables (dhā · li · ka)
