    1. In Arabic, the dual form is used to indicate two of something.

    2. When a noun ending in "taa marbuta" (ة) takes a suffix, the ending changes to "taa maftuha" (ت).

    3. For dual forms, "انِ" (aani) is added in the nominative case and "ين َ " (ayni) in the accusative/genitive cases.

    4. The final "i" in "aani" and "ayni" isn't pronounced if followed by a pause.

    5. So, "وَلَد" (walad, boy) becomes "وَلَدَانِ" (waladāni) and "وَلَدَيْنِ" (waladayni), and "شَجَرَة" (shajarat, tree) becomes "شَجَرَتَانِ" (shajaratāni) and "شَجَرَتَيْنِ" (shajaratayni).

      Thanks for listening!
