Can someone explain why certain words sound like they have a "N" at the end of them? Is this an accent mark that is not shown?
Adjectives, nouns and at times adverbs sometimes end in alif with a ❤❤❤❤❤ tanween which does have an "an" sound. The AI isn't able to distinguish between the two. An example is أَهْلاً pronounced ahlan or عَفْوًا as used in the sentence.
Other times a case ending may result in nunation that has a 'an', 'oon', or 'een' sound based on the grammatical case.
I have a feeling when the sentence ends with an A ending word eg 3afwan ya rosa... Then "n" sound added ..like Rosan, significies the sentence is complete. Like a fullstop? I could be completely wrong tho. Oooorr the n sound is a second person signifier? I wish there were more arab speakers floating in here
Its just a mistake in the AI. there is not supposed to be a N sound here. Adjectives, nouns and at times adverbs sometimes end in alif with a ❤❤❤❤❤ tanween which does have an "an" sound. The AI isn't able to distinguish between the two. An example is أَهْلاً pronounced ahlan or عَفْوًا as used in the sentence.

In Oman I was told it means "you are welcome" and it was used as an answer to "thank you". Excuse me wouldn't made have sense in that context....
