Which letters can you add to an Arabic root?

In Arabic, you can only add certain letters to a root – what are they?

Last updated: 1 month

Almost every Arabic word – except proper nouns and foreign words – has a root that consists of three or four letters, so-called radicals.

In Arabic, a radical is called ุญูŽุฑู’ู ุฃูŽุตู’ู„ููŠู‘. It is pretty easy to identify the root (ุฌูุฐู’ุฑ) as there are only ten letters in Arabic which can be added to a root. They are called ุญูุฑููˆู ุงู„ุฒู‘ููŠุงุฏุฉ.

They are easy to remember. They can be summed up in this word:
ุณุฃู„ุชู…ูˆู†ูŠู‡ุง

Difficult to remember?

Well, think of a possible pronunciation, and it will be easy: “saโ€™altumuuniiha“.


That was quick. Do you know the total number of roots in Arabic?
