NOUN: noun
Definition
Nouns are a part of speech typically denoting a person, place, thing, animal, or idea.
The NOUN tag is intended for common nouns only. See PROPN for proper nouns and PRON for pronouns.
As a special case, classifiers (量詞 / loeng6ci4) are also tagged NOUN per UD guidelines. Their classifier status may be preserved in the feature column (FEATS) as NounType=CLf.
