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.
Russian nouns have the lexical feature ru-feat/Gender. Furthermore, the nouns inflect for ru-feat/Number and ru-feat/Case.
A verbal noun can be derived productively from almost every verb
(e.g. есть “to eat” → поедание “eating”).
While in other languages a corresponding form may be called gerund and tagged VERB,
in Russian it is tagged NOUN. It has always the neuter gender and the full
number-case inflectional paradigm.
Examples
- девочка “girl”
- кошка “cat”
- дерево “tree”
- воздух “air”
- красота “beauty”
- плавание “swimming”
