Types of Nouns

Halh Mongolian has two main types of nouns: common nouns and proper nouns. Common nouns refer to general things, such as people, places, animals, and objects. Proper nouns refer to specific people, places, animals, and objects.

Common Nouns

Common nouns in Halh Mongolian are formed by adding suffixes to the root word. For example, the root word for "person" is "хүн", and the suffix "-н" is added to form the common noun "хүнн".

Common nouns can also be formed by adding prefixes to the root word. For example, the root word for "house" is "гэр", and the prefix "дахин" is added to form the common noun "дахин гэр".

Proper Nouns

Proper nouns in Halh Mongolian are formed by adding suffixes to the root word. For example, the root word for "person" is "хүн", and the suffix "-ийн" is added to form the proper noun "хүнийн".

Proper nouns can also be formed by adding prefixes to the root word. For example, the root word for "house" is "гэр", and the prefix "дахин" is added to form the proper noun "дахин гэрийн".

Using Nouns in Sentences

Once you have formed the nouns, you can use them in sentences. Halh Mongolian nouns can be used as the subject, object, or predicate of a sentence.

For example, if you wanted to say "The person is happy", you would say "Хүн баяртай". Here, "хүн" is the subject of the sentence.

If you wanted to say "The house is big", you would say "Гэр дээд байна". Here, "гэр" is the subject of the sentence.

If you wanted to say "I saw the person", you would say "Би хүнийг харав". Here, "хүнийг" is the object of the sentence.
