The ta marbuta (ة) or "tied ta" becomes aspirated when it is in the non-final position of an idafa (إضافة) structure. (An idafa structure is when nouns are used in sequence to modify each other. When idafas are translated into English, the word "of" usually separates the nouns, such as "house of men".)

For example: The Arabic term for "Business School" is Kuliyat at-Tajaara (كلية التجارة) which literally means College of Business. Since "college" or "kuliya" is in the non-final position of the idafa, it's ta marbuta is aspirated.

Note also that the ta marbuta becomes a ta maftuha (ت) or "opened ta" if the word takes on a possessive suffix. For example: To say "story" in Arabic is Qessa (قصة) and "your story" in Arabic is (قصتك). The ta "opens" because ta marbuta MUST be the final letter in a word.

How does a flute articulate notes rapidly?

Sometimes, in order to articulate notes rapidly, one will double tongue the notes. Instead of making a "ta" sound to tongue each note, you can make a "ta-ca" sound for every two notes. For example, if you have 4 notes to play very quickly, double tonguing them would sound like: "ta-ca-ta-ca" rather than "ta-ta-ta-ta".
