== What are Nouns? ==
== Introduction ==


Nouns are words that represent people, places, things, or ideas. They are one of the fundamental building blocks of a sentence and often act as the subject or object of a verb. In North Azerbaijani, nouns can be modified by adjectives or other nouns to provide more detail or context.
In this lesson, we will explore the fascinating world of nouns in the North Azerbaijani language. Nouns are an essential part of any language, as they allow us to name people, places, things, and abstract concepts. Understanding how nouns work in North Azerbaijani is crucial for building a solid foundation in the language and expressing yourself accurately.


=== Types of Nouns ===
In this comprehensive lesson, we will delve into various aspects of nouns, including their gender, number, and case. We will provide clear explanations, numerous examples, and engaging exercises to help you grasp these concepts effectively. Additionally, we will explore any regional variations in noun usage and share interesting cultural facts related to nouns in North Azerbaijani. By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid understanding of nouns and be able to use them confidently in your North Azerbaijani conversations.


There are many different types of nouns in North Azerbaijani, but some of the common types include:
== Gender of Nouns ==


==== Common Nouns ====
Like many other languages, North Azerbaijani assigns genders to nouns. However, unlike some languages that have only two genders (masculine and feminine), North Azerbaijani has three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter. The gender of a noun is not always predictable based on its meaning, so it is important to learn and memorize the gender of each noun individually.


Common nouns refer to general objects, people, or concepts. They are not specific to any individual or unique item.
Let's look at some examples of nouns and their genders:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! North Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English
! North Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Dale || DA-le || House
| kitab || /kiˈtab/ || book (masculine)
|-
| qadın || /qaˈdɯn/ || woman (feminine)
|-
|-
| Kitab || KI-tap || Book
| stol || /stol/ || table (neuter)
|}
|}


==== Proper Nouns ====
As you can see from the examples above, the gender of a noun is not always related to its meaning. It is important to note that the gender of a noun affects other parts of the language, such as the agreement of adjectives and pronouns, which we will explore in later lessons.


Proper nouns are capitalized and refer to specific individuals, places, or things.
== Number of Nouns ==


{| class="wikitable"
Nouns in North Azerbaijani can be singular or plural. Singular nouns refer to one person, place, thing, or concept, while plural nouns refer to more than one. The plural form of a noun is usually formed by adding a suffix to the singular form, but there are some irregular plural forms that need to be memorized.

|-
| Maya || MA-ya || Maya (name)
|-
| Azərbaycan || A-zer-bay-JAHN || Azerbaijan
|}


==== Collective Nouns ====
Let's look at some examples of singular and plural nouns:
 
Collective nouns refer to groups of people or things.


{| class="wikitable"

| ev || /ev/ || house (singular)
|-
|-
| Qrup || QRUP || Group
| evlər || /evˈlær/ || houses (plural)
|}
 
==== Abstract Nouns ====
 
Abstract nouns refer to concepts, ideas, or emotions.
 
{| class="wikitable"
! North Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Mənəviyyat || me-ne-vee-YAH-t || Spirituality
| qız || /gɯz/ || girl (singular)
|-
|-
| Sevinc || SE-vinch || Joy
| qızlar || /gɯzˈlar/ || girls (plural)
|}
|}


== Gender and Number ==
In the examples above, you can see that the plural form of a noun is formed by adding the suffix "-lər" to the singular form. However, please note that there are some exceptions and irregularities in forming plural nouns in North Azerbaijani, which we will discuss in more detail in a later lesson.


In North Azerbaijani, nouns have gender, specifically masculine and feminine. This is important when it comes to modifying a noun with an adjective or pronoun. Additionally, nouns can be singular or plural, with different rules for forming the plural based on the gender of the noun.
== Case of Nouns ==


=== Gender ===
Nouns in North Azerbaijani change their form depending on their grammatical case. A grammatical case is a way of showing the relationship between a noun and other words in a sentence. North Azerbaijani has several cases, including the nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, locative, and instrumental cases.


In North Azerbaijani, gender is distinguished between masculine and feminine forms of the noun.
Let's look at some examples of nouns in different cases:
 
For example:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! North Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English
! North Azerbaijani !! Nominative !! Genitive !! Dative !! Accusative !! Locative !! Instrumental
|-
|-
| Adam || A-dam || Man
| kitab || kitab || kitabın || kitaba || kitabı || kitabda || kitabla
|-
| Qadın || KHA-din || Woman
|}
 
Note that not all nouns are specifically masculine or feminine, and some nouns are the same in both forms:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! North Azerbaijani !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Gün || GUN || Day
| qadın || qadın || qadının || qadına || qadını || qadında || qadınla
|-
|-
| Şəhər || SHE-her || City
| stol || stol || stolun || stola || stolu || stolda || stolla
|}
|}


Additionally, there is no neuter gender in North Azerbaijani.
In the examples above, you can see how the form of the noun changes depending on the case. Each case has its own suffixes and rules for forming the noun's form. Understanding how nouns change in different cases is essential for constructing grammatically correct sentences in North Azerbaijani.
