Please fix[edit]

"Filthy" and "dirty" are not nouns. Please fix. 71.66.97.228 05:30, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This kind of nominalisation without the use of particles is pervasive in analytic languages like Chinese and Vietnamese. Basically words can all act as nouns, verbs and adjectives if semantically allowed, and as a result the import of Chinese produced a disproportionate amount of nouns in agglutinative languages like Korean and Japanese.

If so, the entry can add inflection lines giving the various parts of speech that the word can take on in different contexts. 71.66.97.228 06:03, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
