Congratulations — you’ve reached the last letter! Meet ي (“y”), then let’s review everything you’ve learned.
Yaa
yaa
How it sounds
| Letter | Transliteration | Sounds like |
|---|---|---|
| ي | yaa | the “y” in “yes” |
Tip: Like و, ي can also act as a vowel — a long “ee” sound. You’ll meet that in the grammar lessons. For now, it’s simply the letter “y”.
