What are Abstract Nouns

Abstract nouns are words that name things that are not concrete. Your five physical senses
cannot detect an abstract noun – you can’t see it, smell it, taste it, hear it, or touch it. In
essence, an abstract noun is a quality, a concept, an idea, or maybe even an event.

Abstract nouns and concrete nouns are usually defined in terms of one another. Something
that is abstract exists only in the mind, while something that is concrete can be interacted
with in a physical way. Qualities, relationships, theories, conditions, and states of being
are some examples of the types of things abstract nouns define.

Types of Abstract Nouns

It’s not always easy to determine if a noun is abstract or concrete. Many grammar experts
argue over whether certain terms, making things even worse. The line separating abstract
nouns from concrete nouns is often quite blurry. For example, many abstract noun lists
include the word laughter, but others leave it out, as it’s something that can be heard, seen,
and physically felt.

Abstract Noun Examples

The following lists contain different types of abstract nouns. Certain abstract nouns,
especially the ones describing feelings and emotions, easily fit into multiple categories, as
they can be used in different ways. Get to know them, and it’ll be easier for you to spot an
abstract noun when you see one.
