What does mundhu mean in Arabizi?

mundhu is how you write مُنْذُ in Arabizi, the Arabic chat alphabet. It means “since”. No numbers in this one; it spells out in plain Latin letters.

New to the chat alphabet? See how every letter and number maps: 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 health & the body lesson of our Arabic typing practice course, if you would rather drill it next to the words it turns up with.
