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?
On my screen the أ in the first أنا was cut off by the edge of the prompt box, leaving the phrase looking like نا عُمَر وَأَنا مُعَلَّم.
I thought ustaaàaa☹️d meant teacher... Does muaalim also mean teacher or am i jus confused?
The word أُسْتاذ means professor (and sometimes sir) and مُعَلِّم means teacher

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

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"?
If you look very closely, you can see that it is below the little squiggle sign that doubles the L

If you are using Google keyboard on Android, long press on period key, and it will display a bunch of symbols such as ُ َ َٓ . Of course you first need to install the Arabic keyboard.
It sounds as if there is an ethymological connection between teacher and moral. Nice.

etymological. But, yes, it was that false etymology that helped me remember the Arabic for "teacher". We have to grasp at anything, don't we!
The origina question does did not display أنا properly. It just showed نا.
