Sounds

ARABIC HAY sounds exactly like English “h”.

Arabic HAY (BADI HAY) is one of TWO “h” sounds in Urdu. We call ح the Arabic HAY (or Badi HAY) to distinguish it from ہ which is called HINDI HAY (or CHHOTI HAY). Both sound the same but they are not interchangeable. You must learn when to use each one.
