noun
의미: A word that names a person, place, thing, or idea
A noun is one of the basic parts of speech in grammar, referring to words that name people, places, things, or concepts. Nouns can be common (dog, city) or proper (London, Sarah), concrete (table) or abstract (freedom), and singular or plural. They often function as the subject or object in a sentence.
