lukebeadgcf : Shouldn't بني be بنى .
melissahodge : technically, yes. but when you're looking up a root with an alif maksura, it will still be at the end with the yeahs. also, when the verb conjugates, it will take the yeah form. so either is correct.
lukebeadgcf : It is not correct. It must take ألف مقصورة in the past tense. Also نسي, which you have listed with an ألف مقصورة, must take a ياء in the past tense. Although the root of بنى is be ب ن ي, the verb subscribes to the فَعَلَ يفعِل conjugational paradigm and its ياء always appears as an ألف مقصورة in the past-tense, third-person, masculine singular. We cannot say بنيه (he built it). It is only correct to say بناه.
lukebeadgcf : Mellisa, I apologize. I should have said "has been listed," and not "you have listed," since you didn't make the list.
