in the nominative case (حَالةُ الرَّفَعِ) and fatha, sukoon and noon with kasra:

يْنِ -ِ

in both the accusative and genitive cases for masculine nouns.

    I have enjoyed the lessons from Al-dirassa and benefited tremendously thus far.
    First, my instructor has personalized the lessons, aligning them to my learning goals. In addition, he has advised me with specific supplemental activities, which will assist me in reaching my learning goals.
    Second, my instructor has been extremely patient with me, allowing me numerous opportunities to express myself in Arabic without rushing me or interrupting me.

    Lastly, the administration responded promptly to my needs, and they clearly addressed any concerns I had moving forward with classes

    I feel confident in my decision in selecting Al-dirassa over other Arabic language institutions, and I plan to continue studying with the school for the foreseeable future.
