For example, we say سوريا for the country, but with nationality we say سوري for meal or سورية for female (add ـة) Examples: سوريا - سوري ليبيا - ليبي روسيا - روسي بولندا - بولندي ألمانيا - ألماني I hope I answered your question well, ask my for more explanation.

(سُورِيَة) بتخفيف الياء. هكذا في معجم البلدان لياقوت ومعجم ما استعجم للبكريّ. It is the name of the country But when you drop the alif it becomes adjective Hope I answer the question It is my country and we studied this issue Best wishes brother

The country name Syria is written in Arabic in 2 ways : with alif سوريَّا ( Soriiya ) and with ta' marbouta سوريَّة ( Soriiyah ). but سورىَّ - سورىُّ - سورىِّ is the nationality for male and it can be written with fat'ha, damma and kasrah according to its grammatical case. note: alif is a long vowel and fat'ha is a short vowel so alif in pronunciation takes the time of 2 fat'has so you can apply that when you pronpnce سوريَّا - سورىَّ
