Nepali (individual language) Grammar - Nouns

Hi Nepali (individual language) learners! 😊
In today's lesson, we will be discussing the basics of Nepali (individual language) nouns. Nouns are an essential part of any language, and understanding them is key to mastering the language. We will look at the different types of nouns, how they are formed, and how they are used in sentences.

Types of Nouns

Nouns can be divided into two main categories: 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 are words that refer to general things. Examples of common nouns include: person, place, animal, object.

Proper Nouns

Proper nouns are words that refer to specific people, places, animals, and objects. Examples of proper nouns include: John, London, Tiger, iPhone.

Formation of Nouns

Nouns can be formed in a variety of ways. They can be formed from verbs, adjectives, and other nouns.

Verbs

Nouns can be formed from verbs by adding suffixes. For example, the verb "run" can be turned into the noun "runner" by adding the suffix "-er".

Adjectives

Nouns can also be formed from adjectives by adding suffixes. For example, the adjective "happy" can be turned into the noun "happiness" by adding the suffix "-ness".

Other Nouns

Nouns can also be formed from other nouns by adding prefixes or suffixes. For example, the noun "teacher" can be turned into the noun "teaching" by adding the suffix "-ing".

Usage of Nouns

Nouns are used in a variety of ways in sentences. They can be used as the subject of a sentence, the object of a sentence, or as a modifier.

Subject

The subject of a sentence is the noun that performs the action. For example, in the sentence "John runs", "John" is the subject.

Object

The object of a sentence is the noun that receives the action. For example, in the sentence "John runs to the store", "store" is the object.

Modifier

Nouns can also be used as modifiers. Modifiers are words that modify or describe other words. For example, in the sentence "John runs to the grocery store", "grocery" is a modifier that describes the noun "store".
