hmmm, i'm not sure i know what you mean by participle and nonparticiple noun. a participial noun is one made from a verb (sharing is caring!), so a nonparticipial noun would be... all others?
synema and manchin are dopes just digging in their heels because they want to seem like they think for themselves. dum-dums.
Haha omg I merged two concepts in my brain like 40 years ago and it has never dislodged this is the best. I am googling it now and I can't find a name for them other than "mass nouns" but i swear I was taught they had a name sounding something LIKE non-participle. HA.
It's mind boggling to me. I KNOW what a participle is. Or, at least I know it exists in grammar and has nothing to do with this. But i so VIVIDLY remember learning this was a non-participle.
i found several terms: irregular plurals, unmarked plurals, zero plurals, defective nouns (lol), and pluralia/singularia tantum (the former being a noun that has no singular form, the latter no plural form; e.g., scissors/dust respectively)—but i want to find the one that you learned!
Yeah I feel like what happened is I did some personal mnemonic to remember it and swapped "particple" in for some other similar-sounding word? But none of these are sounding familiar.
what is a non-participle?? google gets me a bunch of non-(insert other word here)-participles but no non-participle
Haha see above. THIS REQUIRES MORE RESEARCH. I can't believe it.
This page is calling them non-COUNT, but I know that's not what I learned: https://www.literacymn.org/count-non-count-nouns
