Grammatik 3-2 ~ Introduction to Nouns
A 
noun
 is a fundamental part of speech, occurring in sentences in two different ways: as subjects 
(performers of action), or objects (recipients of action). As a generality, a noun is the name of a 
"person, place, or thing". Nouns are classified into proper nouns (e.g. "Janet"), common nouns (e.g. 
"girl"), and pronouns (e.g. "she" and "which"). A 
proper noun
(also called 
proper name
) is a noun 
which denotes a unique entity. The meaning of a proper noun, outside of what it references, is 
frequently arbitrary or irrelevant (for example, someone might be named Tiger Smith despite being 
neither a tiger nor a smith). Because of this, they are often not translated between languages, although 
they may be transliterated — for example, the German surname "Knödel" becomes "Knoedel" in 
English, as opposed to "Dumpling". Proper nouns are capitalized in English and all other languages 
that use the Latin alphabet; this is one way to recognize them. However,
