Building the dual form of Arabic adjectives

If an Arabic adjective refers to a noun in the dual form, the adjective does not take on its plural but – but it changes and builds a dual form too.

  • The dual ending for adjectives is -āni (انِ) in the nominative case.
  • For building the genitive and accusative case, we add -ayni (ـَيْنِ) to the end of the adjective.

Examples for building the dual of Arabic adjectives:
الرَّجلانِ الطَّيبانِ
ar-rağulāni aṭ-ṭayyibāni these (two) nice guys
هذهِ سيَّارةُ الأخوينِ الشّابينِ
hāḏhi sayyāratu l-ʾaḫawaini š-šābaini That's the car of the (two) young brothers.
