Example sentences
فَأَعْجَبَ وَالِدَيْهِ فَأَنْفَقَا عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ مَكْنُونٍ،
He amazed his parents, so they spent all their hoarded wealth on him.
وَالِدَيْهِ — his parents. A dual noun 'two parents' with the attached possessor '-hi' = 'his', the direct object of 'amazed', hence accusative. The dual form names exactly two, the mother and father, and the suffix marks them as his.
