Example sentence
وَيَمْزَحُ مَعَ الصَّبِيَّانِ الْمِلَّاحِ ،
And he jokes with the handsome boys,
الصَّبِيَّانِ the two boys
A definite noun whose -ani ending is the dual, Arabic's dedicated 'exactly two' form that English lacks: 'the two boys'. Where English would add a separate 'two', Arabic folds the count into the noun's own ending, so the number rides inside the word.
The English is machine-translated.

Two women went out with two boys.
صَبِيَّانِ two boys
Another dual noun, marking exactly two boys through the ending alone with no separate number word. It names the companions introduced by the 'with' phrase just before, so it stands in the case Arabic uses for the thing accompanying. The dual ending parallels the women's dual, keeping the 'two and two' picture consistent across the sentence.
