You have learned Fatha, Kasra, and Damma — one mark each.

التَّنْوِين comes from نَوَّنَ — meaning: to add the letter Noon (ن).
Two Fathas = "an" · Two Kasras = "in" · Two Dammas = "un" 🎵

The Tanween Rule
Tanween only appears at the end of a word —
never in the middle.
It adds an "n" sound that you hear but never write as ن.
كِتَابً رَجُلٍ بَيْتٌ
kitaban · rajulin · baytun
