What does 7ammam mean in Arabizi?

7ammam is how you write حَمّام in Arabizi, the Arabic chat alphabet. It means “bathroom, a bathroom”.

The number in 7ammam
7ح

The 7 stands for ح (ḥa): a breathy h, deeper than English h. 7 bends the way ح bends.

For the rest of the chat alphabet, see the Arabizi → Arabic guide. Got it the other way round, with Arabic script to convert? That is the Arabic to Arabizi converter.

How to type it

The keystrokes, in order.

On a standard Arabic 101 / Arabic-PC layout — 6 key presses. Diacritics sit on the Shift keys. The on-screen keyboard on this site highlights each key as you go.

It sits in the home lesson of our Arabic typing practice course, if you would rather drill it next to the words it turns up with.
