Volume 1
A review lesson using the new letters ع and غ. Read and translate sentences about going, returning and places, with comparatives such as "smaller than," "poorer than" and "richer than."
Why do words end with “-un”?
The -un ending is called tanween (nunation). It marks indefinite nouns — similar to “a/an” in English.
To find the base word, simply remove the final “-un” sound (the double-stacked damma بٌ on the last letter).
