1. Parts of the body that come in pairs are in the dual form when referring to both; not in the plural (this sometimes happens in spoken Arabic for eyes 3uyuun عيون , or cheeks خدود  khuduud, for example)

2. Short vowel declensions are usually only visible in fully-voweled texts such as Koranic verses, or children’s books or poetry. Long suffixes, however, always must be written, hence the different dual forms below.

3. The word for fingers(aSaabi3 أصابع ) is used for both fingers and toes. You just need to specify.

4. The word for chin(thaqn ذقن ) is used for beard in some dialects.

5. Like in English, the word for tongue (lisaan لسان ) also means language.

Bonus tip: when a dual noun is followed by a noun or a pronoun, the nuun is removed: examples:

أجريت العملية في قدمي الولد

نظرت الطبيبة في عينيه
