Tanween, at end of a word, indicates the word is singular- كِتَابٌ a book. حَقِيْبَةٌ a bag. In this chapter, we will learn dual and plural.
Rule of dual-
If Ism is in the مَرْفُوْعٌ state then اَنِ has to be added at the end and if is in مَنْصُوْبٌ and مَجْرُوْرٌ state then يْنِ has to be added at the end to make it dual/pair.
