Hello all. I have a simple, but so far unanswered, question:
In MSA, is فجأة "all of a sudden" pronounced faja'a or faja'atan? I know it's an adverb, but I haven't yet seen it written with a double fatha, so I'm unsure. Thanks for any help! Greg Edited by Ygangerg on 24 August 2011 at 10:39am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

AFAIK فجأة (root: ف ج أ) is pronounced faj'atan in MSA.

It can be said either way. In MSA faja'atan is the one you'll hear. Faja'a is dialect.
