About this quiz

What you’ll practice

Arabic diacritics change pronunciation and meaning, so this quiz focuses on choosing the correct short vowel (fatḥa/ḍamma/kasra) and tanwīn (ً ٍ ٌ) in realistic word forms.

Each question is multiple-choice with 4 options and no timer, so you can think carefully and learn from patterns rather than rushing.

Difficulty and quiz settings

Difficulty is mixed on purpose: you’ll see straightforward vowel identification alongside trickier cases where context, endings, or similar-looking options test your precision.

Before you start, choose your preferred question count and difficulty to match your level—use shorter sets for quick drills or longer runs to build consistency.

Common pitfalls to avoid

  • Confusing tanwīn (ً ٍ ٌ) with a regular short vowel on the last letter
  • Mixing up kasra (ِ) and tanwīn kasr (ٍ) when scanning quickly
  • Forgetting that endings often change with tanwīn, especially in fully vocalized text
  • Picking the “most familiar” option instead of checking the final letter and mark placement
  • Overlooking that similar shapes can hide different diacritics above vs. below the letter

Tips for better accuracy

Read the word from right to left, then confirm the final letter’s diacritic last—many errors happen at the ending. If you miss one, replay a short set and look for the rule or pattern the question was testing.
