الرسالة واضحة.

A common pronunciation is ar-risāla wāḍiḥa.

If you read it in fully vocalized, formal MSA with case endings, it is:

ar-risālatu wāḍiḥatun

A few pronunciation notes:

• الـ in الرسالة is pronounced ar-, not al-, because ر is a sun letter.
• ض in واضحة is a deep, emphatic d sound.
• ح is a breathy throat sound, stronger than ordinary English h.

Because ر is one of the sun letters in Arabic.

When الـ comes before a sun letter, the ل sound assimilates to the next consonant. So:

• written: الرسالة
• pronounced: ar-risāla

In fully vocalized Arabic, you would see a shadda on the ر to show this doubling: الرِّسالة

In Arabic, the present-tense verb to be is usually not stated.

So:

• الرسالة واضحة literally looks like the message clear
• but it means The message is clear

This is a very common Arabic sentence pattern, called a nominal sentence.

If you wanted past tense, Arabic would use a verb, for example:

• كانت الرسالة واضحة = The message was clear

Because رسالة is a feminine singular noun, and the adjective/predicate agrees with it.

So:

• masculine: واضح = clear
• feminine: واضحة = clear

Since الرسالة is feminine, Arabic uses واضحة.

Because here واضحة is the predicate of the sentence, not an attributive adjective inside a noun phrase.

This distinction is very important:

• الرسالة واضحة = The message is clear
• الرسالة الواضحة = the clear message

So:

• definite noun + indefinite adjective/predicate → usually a full sentence
• definite noun + definite adjective → a noun phrase

That is one of the main clues that tells you this is a sentence, not just the clear message.

That letter is called tāʾ marbūṭa (ة). It often marks feminine nouns and adjectives.

In this sentence:

• رسالة is feminine
• واضحة is the feminine form of واضح

In pronunciation, ة usually sounds like -a or -ah when you stop:

• risāla / risālah
• wāḍiḥa / wāḍiḥah

But in full grammatical reading with endings, it is pronounced with t:

• risālatu
• wāḍiḥatun

With full case endings, the sentence is:

الرِّسالةُ واضحةٌ

More fully vocalized: الرِّسالةُ واضِحةٌ

Both words are in the nominative:

• الرِّسالةُ = the subject
• واضِحةٌ = the predicate

In normal modern writing, these short vowel endings are usually omitted, so you normally just see:

الرسالة واضحة

It can mean both, depending on context.

Common meanings include:

• message
• letter
• sometimes even communication or mission in broader contexts

So الرسالة واضحة could mean:

• The message is clear
• The letter is clear

Usually the surrounding context tells you which one is meant.

It is a simple nominal sentence in Arabic.

You can divide it like this:

• الرسالة = the topic / subject
• واضحة = the comment / predicate

So the structure is:

[subject] + [predicate]

This pattern is extremely common in Arabic, especially for simple statements like:

• الجو جميل = The weather is nice
• البيت كبير = The house is big
• الرسالة واضحة = The message is clear

Yes, Arabic can sometimes change the order for style or emphasis.

The neutral, standard order is:

الرسالة واضحة

A reordered version like واضحةٌ الرسالةُ is possible in more formal or rhetorical contexts, but it is less basic for learners.

So as a beginner, it is best to use and recognize:

الرسالة واضحة

The two sounds learners often notice are:

• ض: an emphatic, dark d sound
• ح: a voiceless throat sound, stronger and deeper than English h

A rough breakdown is:

• وَا = wā
• ضِ = ḍi
• حَة = ḥa

So واضحة is approximately wā-ḍi-ḥa.

Even if your ض and ح are not perfect at first, that is normal. They take practice.
