🎮 Which Definite Is It?

📖 About this game

A game on the lesson of indefinite and definite nouns in Arabic. The book questions name all five definites with their examples: the pronoun, the proper name, the demonstrative, the relative pronoun, and the noun made definite by al. Why not simply definite or indefinite: that is a one-step question answered by instinct, while the lesson teaches the five routes to definiteness, and a learner who knows that haadha is definite by pointing rather than by al has understood the whole chapter. The meaning is never printed on the card because a word is sorted by its form and not by what it means, so the form alone is enough and no clue can leak the answer. After every answer the rest of that family appears. Two words per kind. This English twin teaches Arabic rather than translating it. No sign-up.

🕹️ How to play

1. Read the Arabic word, or listen to it.
2. Ask: by which route is this word definite?
3. Tap the matching kind out of the five.
4. Every word you get first try counts for you.
