        <h2><code>NOUN</code>: noun</h2>

<h2 id="noun--noun">NOUN : noun</h2>

<h3 id="definition">Definition</h3>

<p>Nouns typically denote entities such as persons, places, things, animals or ideas.</p>

<p>The tag <code>NOUN</code>  is intended for common nouns only. See <a href="">PROPN</a> for proper nouns and <a href="">PRON</a> for pronouns.</p>

<p>Certain adjectives are considered nouns. As such they disallow the formation of comparatives (but not all adjectives allow for comparatives anyway).</p>

<p>Modern Greek expresses degree modification of nouns with a large variety of morphological (and syntactic) means:</p>

<ul>
  <li>Diminutives (<em>υποκοριστικά</em> / <em>ipokoristika</em>) productively formed with suffixes such as  <em>–άκι</em> / <em>-aki</em>, <em>–ιτσα</em> / <em>-itsa</em>, <em>–ούλης</em> / <em>-oulis</em>, <em>-άκης</em> / <em>-akis</em> like <em>χταποδάκι</em> / <em>chtapodhaki</em> “little octopus”, <em>παιδάκι</em> / <em>pedhaki</em> “little child”, <em>μικρούλα</em> / <em>mikroula</em> “little girl”,  <em>φωνίτσα</em> / <em>fonitsa</em> “little voice”: they are assigned the lemma of the original noun and the feature <a href="">el-DegreeMod</a> takes the value <a href="">Diminutive</a>.</li>
  <li>Magnifiers (<em>μεγεθυντικά</em> / <em>megethintika</em>)  productively formed with suffixes such as <em>-άρας</em> / <em>-aras</em>, <em>-αράς</em> / <em>-aras</em> like  <em>τρυπάρα</em> / <em>tripara</em> “large hole”, <em>ψευταράς</em> / <em>pseftaras</em> “great lier”: they are assigned the lemma of the original noun and the feature <a href="">el-DegreeMod</a> takes the value <a href="">Magnifier</a>.</li>
  <li>Lexicalised diminutives and magnifiers such as  <em>λακκάκι</em> ‘dimple’, <em>σουβλάκι</em> / <em>souvlaki</em> “roasted pieces of meat on a little spit”, <em>παιχταράς</em> / <em>pechtaras</em> “excellent (football) player”: they are not defined for the feature <a href="">el-DegreeMod</a>.</li>
</ul>

<p>Greek nouns inflect for <a href="">el-feat/Gender</a>, <a href="">el-feat/Number</a> and <a href="">el-feat/Case</a>.</p>

<h3 id="examples">Examples</h3>

<ul>
  <li><em>γυναίκα</em> / <em>yineka</em> “woman”, <em>σκύλος</em> / <em>skilos</em> “dog”, <em>τραπέζι</em> / <em>trapezi</em> “table”, <em>επανάσταση</em> / <em>epanastasi</em> “revolution”, <em>ελευθερία</em> / <em>freedom</em> “liberty”</li>
  <li>Professions such as <em>αστυνομικός</em> / <em>astinomikos</em> “policeman”, <em>στρατιωτικός</em> / <em>stratiotikos</em> “military officer”. When the same words cooccur with another noun, such as <em>αστυνομικός σκύλος</em> / <em>astinomikos skilos</em> “police dog”, they are assigned the tag <a href="">ADJ</a>.</li>
  <li><em>ακουστικό</em> / <em>akoustiko</em> “head phone/hearing aid”, <em>κινητό</em> / <em>kinito</em> “mobile phone”, <em>ενδότερα</em> / <em>endhotera</em> “inner parts”, <em>πρωϊνό</em> / <em>proino</em> “breakfast”, <em>μεσημεριανό</em> / <em>mesimeriano</em> “lunch”, <em>βραδινό</em> / <em>vradhino</em> “dinner”, <em>λαδερά</em> / <em>ladhera</em> “vegetable dishes cooked in olive oil”, etc.</li>
</ul>
