According to my paperback dictionary, mumti3 means "enjoyable" instead of "fun" or "funny". "Fun" is a synonym for "enjoyable", though.

Thanks Scruffy-bear for your explanation of the mnemonic. I thought you were complementing Vismaior under his comment and did not realize that you were answering my question directly under my comment. I deleted my question since I thought it was no longer necessary. I didn't realize you were answering me directly and that deleting my question would delete your explanation of the mnemonic. Please add your comment back.
I'm guessing in this sentence, Duo is considered masculine, which is why مُمتِع is in the masculine form, rather than the feminine form? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D9%85%D9%85%D8%AA%D8%B9

Interesting. I've always considered Duo a male owl, probably because of the -o ending.

No. "Duo" is how Duolingo's mascot's name is spelled. Duo is the little green owl we see.

If you put your mouse cursor over the words, you will see the meaning of the words. Mumti3 means enjoyable/fun.

"Duo" means "two", "Lingo" means "a language". So, "Duolingo" means "two languages". But the "Duo" they are talking about in this sentence is the little green owl that is Duolingo's "mascot".
