Summary
|
||
-------
|
||
|
||
Common nouns are nouns that are not proper names (i.e. names of people
|
||
or places).

-------
|

|
||
A common noun is any noun that is not a :ref:`noun_proper_name`.
|
||
|
||
Form
|
||
----
|
||
|
||
Every noun is either
|
||
:ref:`gender_masculine`
|
||
or
|
||
:ref:`gender_feminine`
|
||
by its nature, often the form of a word is a strong indicator which
|
||
gender it is. All nouns are either
|
||
:ref:`number_singular`
|
||
or
|
||
:ref:`number_plural`,
|
||
or in some cases
|
||
:ref:`number_dual`;
|
||
and they appear either in the :ref:`state_absolute`
|
||
or the :ref:`state_construct`.

In Hebrew, nouns do not change their form based on the function (or
|
||
case) they have in a sentence (subject/nominative, direct
|
||
object/accusative, etc.). They only change if they are in construct
|
||
state.
