The surrounding sentence tells you which meaning is active and what the word is doing there. ### Arabic structure becomes visible Roots, patterns, forms, and grammar stop feeling like separate theory when they are attached to the word you just met. ### Lookup should return you to Arabic The useful tool is the one that answers the question and gives the sentence back. Fasaha keeps lookup beside reading, listening, and review. How to use it in Fasaha 1. 1Open the Arabic you want to understandStart in a Fasaha story, transcript, article, dictionary search, or another supported Arabic surface. 2. 2Tap the word that blocks the sentenceCheck the meaning, pronunciation, root, pattern, and examples without leaving the original line. 3. 3Use sentence analysis for the relationshipWhen separate word meanings are not enough, inspect the sentence structure, roles, and context together. 4. 4Save only what you want to meet againKeep the useful word or line for later review, then return to the Arabic while the context is still alive. Common questions ## Is this only an Arabic-to-English dictionary? No. Fasaha connects meaning with pronunciation, roots, patterns, examples, sentence structure, and your chosen interface language. ## Do I need to know Arabic grammar first? No. You can begin with the meaning and reveal more structure only when it helps. The analysis is support for reading, not an entrance exam. ## Why not copy every sentence into a separate translator? A separate tool breaks the reading loop and often flattens the sentence into one answer. Fasaha keeps the word and analysis attached to the source context.
