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 Gender. Furthermore, the nouns inflect for Number and 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.
