This video goes over the short vowels in Arabic: the Fat7ah, the Kasrah, and the Dammah.

We also cover the mark that indicates no vowel: the Sukoon.

And at the end we touch on the doubling of these marks which is called Tanween. When the mark is doubled it adds an "n" sound after the vowel - this only happens at the end of words.
