الدَّرْسُ الثَّانِي: رِحْلَةٌ إِلَى الْمَتْحَفِ الْمِصْرِيِّ الْكَبِيرِ.

Lesson Two: A Trip to the Grand Egyptian Museum.

الْقَوَاعِدُ الْإِمْلَائِيَّةُ: الْهَمْزَةُ الْمُتَوَسِّطَةُ عَلَى السَّطْرِ.

Spelling Rules: The Medial Hamza on the Line.

أَوَّلًا أَقْرَأُ الْكَلِمَاتِ الْآتِيَةَ: عَبَاءَةٌ - تَفَاءَلَ - بَرَاءَةٌ - تَسَاءَلَ - قِرَاءَاتٌ - بِنَاءَانِ - مُلَاءَةٌ.

First, read the following words: cloak, to be optimistic, innocence, to wonder, readings, two buildings, bedsheet.

ثَانِيًا أُلَاحِظُ: كُتِبَتِ الْهَمْزَةُ الْمُتَوَسِّطَةُ فِي كُلِّ الْأَمْثِلَةِ عَلَى السَّطْرِ.

Second, observe: In all these examples, the medial hamza is written on the line.

حَرَكَةُ الْهَمْزَةِ فِي كُلِّ الْأَمْثِلَةِ هِيَ الْفَتْحَةُ.

The vowel sound for the hamza in every example is a fatha.

جَاءَتِ الْهَمْزَةُ فِي جَمِيعِ الْأَمْثِلَةِ بَعْدَ أَلِفٍ.

In every example, the hamza follows an alif.

ثَالِثًا أَسْتَنْتِجُ: انْتَبِهْ: الْأَلِفُ الْمَقْصُودَةُ هُنَا هِيَ أَلِفُ الْمَدِّ، وَلَيْسَتِ الْأَلِفَ الَّتِي فَوْقَهَا هَمْزَةٌ.

Third, conclude: Note that the alif referred to here is the long vowel alif, not the alif topped with a hamza.

تُكْتَبُ الْهَمْزَةُ الْمُتَوَسِّطَةُ عَلَى السَّطْرِ فِي مَوَاضِعَ مِنْهَا: إِذَا جَاءَتْ مَفْتُوحَةً بَعْدَ أَلِفٍ.

The medial hamza is written on the line in several cases, including when it carries a fatha and follows an alif.

أَخْتَارُ الْكَلِمَةَ الَّتِي كُتِبَتْ فِيهَا الْهَمْزَةُ الْمُتَوَسِّطَةُ عَلَى السَّطْرِ مِمَّا يَأْتِي: (أ) (تَفَاؤُلٌ - مُتَفَائِلٌ - تَفَاءَلَ).

Choose the word where the medial hamza is written on the line: (a) (tafa'ul - mutafa'il - tafa'ala).

(ب) (سُؤَالٌ - مُسَاءَلَةٌ - سَأَلَ).

(b) (su'al - musa'alah - sa'ala).

(جـ) (يَتَضَاءَلُ - مُتَضَائِلٌ - تَضَاؤُلٌ).

(c) (yatada'alu - mutada'il - tada'ul).

(د) (بَرَاءَةٌ - بَرِيئُونَ - تَبْرِئَةٌ).

(d) (bara'ah - bari'un - tabri'ah).

(هـ) (مُضِيئَةٌ - ضَوْؤُهُ - إِضَاءَاتٌ).

(e) (mudi'ah - daw'uhu - ida'at).

(و) (مَقْرَأَةٌ - تَقْرَئِينَ - قِرَاءَةٌ).

(f) (maqra'ah - taqra'ina - qira'ah).

أُكْمِلُ كُلَّ جُمْلَةٍ بِكَلِمَةٍ تَحْتَوِي عَلَى هَمْزَةٍ مُتَوَسِّطَةٍ عَلَى السَّطْرِ:
