I know I should have asked this question long ago, but I was unaware of that capability. So why "and" و is a part of the next word?

[Reem.Gismallah]

It's just a typo.. there should be a space between و or any conjugation adverb and the next word... and if you want to vocalise "wa" you write it وَ

[KatieC993112]

conjugation adverb = conjunction?

[mc0re]

And how do I put an "a" apocryph above و on a phone keyboard?

[Shalini36488]

I thought ustaaàaa☹️d meant teacher... Does muaalim also mean teacher or am i jus confused?

[MichelleDa878143]

The word أُسْتاذ means professor (and sometimes sir) and مُعَلِّم means teacher

[KatieC993112]

why is it muaalim and not muaalam, since the vowel sign is above the L (meaning a?) and not below it (meaning i?)

[fehrerdef]

In fact it is below. The sign above the "l" is a reduplication sign.

[KatieC993112]

Thank you for your answers, Michelle and Fehrerdef. On my screen, the harakah is below the reduplication sign but above the letter L. Does that count as an "i" because it's beneath the reduplication sign? So if there's a reduplication sign, the harakah must be above it to signify "a"?

[MichelleDa878143]

Yes, that is exactly how it works!

[KatieC993112]

Thank you, MichelleDa! Does Duolingo tell us that? Or does it expect us to guess it?

[rbbekkhus]

It sounds as if there is an ethymological connection between teacher and moral. Nice.

Shouldn't مُعَلٌم be pronounced mu'allam and not mu'allim?
