Volume 1
Read and translate the book's sentences comparing things with "bigger than" and "fatter than," and learn to ask "where?" This lesson introduces the comparative with مِنْ and the question word أَيْنَ.
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).
