Vocabulary
Why do words end with “-un”?
The -un ending is called tanween (nunation). It marks indefinite nouns — similar to “a/an” in English.
كِتَابٌ (kitaabun) = a bookvsكِتَاب (kitaab) = book (base word)
To find the base word, simply remove the final “-un” sound (the double-stacked damma بٌ on the last letter).
