Nimisõnastik

Nimisõnastik is a term that refers to a dictionary or glossary specifically focused on nouns. Such a resource would list nouns from a particular language or domain, often providing their definitions, grammatical information such as gender and number, and sometimes etymological details or usage examples. The purpose of a nimisõnastik is to help users understand and correctly use the nouns of a language. It can be a valuable tool for language learners, linguists, writers, and anyone seeking to deepen their knowledge of vocabulary. While general dictionaries include nouns, a specialized nimisõnastik would offer a more exhaustive and detailed treatment of this specific word class. The creation and use of nimisõnastikud are particularly relevant in languages with rich noun systems, such as those with complex inflectional morphology or gender systems. They can be compiled in various formats, from printed books to online databases.
