A noun is a word that names a person, place, animal, or thing.
👉 मराठीत सांगायचं झालं, तर संज्ञा म्हणजे नाव – व्यक्तीचं, प्राण्याचं, वस्तूचं किंवा ठिकाणाचं नाव.

🧒 1. Noun is a Name

• We give names to people, places, animals, and things so we can talk about them.

• Without nouns, we cannot tell what or who we are talking about!

🧩 Types of Nouns with Examples:

1. Person (व्यक्ती)

Nouns that tell us who.
Examples: Raju, teacher, doctor, mother
Marathi: राजू, शिक्षक, डॉक्टर, आई
Sentence: Raju is a smart boy.

2. Place (ठिकाण)

Nouns that tell us where.
Examples: school, garden, Mumbai, market
Marathi: शाळा, बाग, मुंबई, बाजार
Sentence: We play in the garden.

3. Animal (प्राणी)

Nouns that tell us about animals.
Examples: dog, cat, lion, elephant

4. Thing (वस्तू)

Nouns that are the names of things we can touch or see.
