Template:U:hu:material noun

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This term (or its primary sense) is a material noun: any part of its denotation is called the same as the whole, so its meaning resembles that of an adjective (expressing a feature).[1] As an uncountable noun, it is not used in the plural in its primary sense. When it still occurs, it refers to objects made out of this material (like coins or medals such as golds), portions held in containers (like coffees (cups of cofee)), or varieties (like wines (types of wine)).[2][3]
