Arabizi

What does a7dara mean in Arabizi?

a7dara is how you write أَحْضَرَ in Arabizi, the Arabic chat alphabet. It means “to bring, to run, to cause to come”.

The number in a7dara
7ح

The 7 stands for ح (ḥa): a breathy h, deeper than English h. 7 bends the way ح bends.

For the rest of the chat alphabet, see the Arabizi → Arabic guide. Got it the other way round, with Arabic script to convert? That is the Arabic to Arabizi converter.
