`NOUN`: noun

Definition

Nouns are a part of speech typically denoting a person, place, thing, animal or idea.

The NOUN tag is intended for common nouns only. See PROPN for proper nouns and PRON for pronouns.

Stems of nominal verbs (e.g. 質問 “question”) are also tagged with NOUN when they are used as nouns (e.g. 質問がありません “there is no question”). Note that they are tagged VERB, when they function as verbs in being followed by an auxiliary verb (e.g. する).

Prefixes, suffixes and numeral classifiers (e.g. 匹 of 3匹の猫 “three cats”) are also classified into NOUN, since they are the main notion of the noun phrases.

Examples

猫 “cat” (noun (common.general) / 名詞-普通名詞-一般)
木 “tree” (noun (common.general) / 名詞-普通名詞-一般)
質問 “question” (noun (common.general) / 名詞-普通名詞-一般)
こと formal noun (noun (common.general) / 名詞-普通名詞-一般)
第一 “first” (noun(common.adverbial)/名詞-普通名詞-副詞可能)
副社長 “vice president” (prefix / 接頭辞)
付属品 “accessory / lit. supplementary parts” (suffix / 接尾辞)
5 回 “5 times” (noun (common.counter) / 名詞-普通名詞-助数詞可能)
