Hi Gujarati learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn about Gujarati nouns.
Take some time to dive into these other pages after completing this lesson: Questions, Negation & 0 to A1 Course.
What are Nouns?[edit | edit source]
In grammar, nouns are words used to refer to a person, animal, place, thing, or an abstract idea. In Gujarati, nouns are called સંજ્ઞાનામ (sanjnaama).
For example, in the sentence "મારો નામ જોહાન છે" (Māro nām johān chhe), નામ (nām) means "name", which is a noun.
Types of Nouns[edit | edit source]
In Gujarati, nouns are generally classified into two types: જાતિનામ (jaatinaama) - "common noun" and વિશેષણામ (visheShnaama) - "proper noun".
Common Nouns[edit | edit source]
Common nouns refer to any ordinary person, place, thing or idea.
Examples:
| Gujarati | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| કાકી | Kākī | Grandmother |
| સ્કૂલ | Skūl | School |
| ચાય | Chāy | Tea |
Proper nouns, on the other hand, refer to specific persons, places or things.
Proper Nouns[edit | edit source]
Proper nouns always begin with a capital letter and refer to a specific name or title of a person, place or thing.
Examples:
| Gujarati | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| જોહાન | Johān | Johan |
| જુનાગઢ | Junāgadha | Junagadh |
| લિનક્સ | Links | Linux |
Gender of Nouns[edit | edit source]
In Gujarati, just like in many other languages, nouns also have gender - masculine, feminine, or neuter.
Examples:
| Gujarati | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| પુરુષ | PuruSh | Masculine |
| સ્ત્રી | Strī | Feminine |
| નપુંસક | Napunshak | Neuter |
Plural Forms of Nouns[edit | edit source]
In Gujarati, there is no specific plural form of most nouns. In fact, the plural is usually made by adding a word that means "more" or "many".
Examples:
| Gujarati | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| બાળકો | Bālako | Children (literally "more children") |
| પુસ્તકો | Pustako | Books (literally "many books") |
| વસ્તુઓ | Vastuo | Things (literally "many things") |
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
- Person 1: તમને કેમ લાગે મારી પુસ્તકો? (Tamanē kēm lāgē mārī pustako?) (How do you like my books?)
- Person 2: તે અચ્છી છે. મને તમારી વસ્તુઓ પણ પસંદ છે. (Tē achchī chhe. Manē tamārī vastuo paṇ pasand chhe.) (It's good. I also like your things.)
