NOUN: noun

Definition

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

Ukrainian nouns have the lexical feature uk-feat/Gender. Furthermore, the nouns inflect for uk-feat/Number and uk-feat/Case.

A verbal noun can be derived productively from almost every verb (e.g. читати “to read” → читання “reading”). While in other languages a corresponding form may be called gerund and tagged VERB, in Ukrainian it is tagged NOUN. It has always the neuter gender and the full number-case inflectional paradigm.
