Questions & Answers about التغطية مستقرة.
How do I pronounce التغطية مستقرة?
A good MSA-style pronunciation is:
at-taghṭiya mustaqirra
A few notes:
- الـ in التغطية is pronounced at-, not al-, because ت is a sun letter, so the l sound assimilates.
- غ is a throaty sound, often approximated as gh.
- ط is an emphatic t.
- مستقرة has a doubled r sound because of the shadda on ر in the fully vowelled form.
If you read it with full case endings in very careful formal Arabic, it would be:
at-taghṭiyatu mustaqirratun
But in normal written MSA reading, learners often say simply at-taghṭiya mustaqirra.
