Lesson summary

Read a doubled نّ or مّ with a nasal sound.

How do I read it?

Let the sound come through the nose and hold it for one elif.

Letters: نّ or مّ

Remember: نّ / مّ = nasal sound.

Common mistake: Cutting the sound short, or adding a new vowel after it.

  • Idgham and Ikhfa have a nasal sound too; you learn them in Silent Nûn and Tanween.
