Countable and Uncountable Nouns Listesi

Countable and uncountable nouns listesi. İngilizce sayılabilen ve sayılamayan isimler konu anlatımı. Nouns türleri ve örnekleri nelerdir. Bu dersimizde ilk olarak countable ve uncountable isimlerin ne olduğunu öğreneceğiz. Daha sonra isimleri türlerine göre listeleyeceğiz. En son olarak da çeşitli özel kullanımları tek tek örneklendirerek dersimizi bitireceğiz.

Countable and Uncountable Nouns

İngilizcede yardımcı fiiller ve nicelik sıfatları çoğu zaman isimlerin tekillik ve çoğulluk durumundan etkilenmektedir. Bu nedenle yeni bir kelime öğrendiğimizde mutlaka countable olarak mı yoksa uncountable olarak mı kullanıldığını sözlükten kontrol etmeliyiz.

Countable noun nedir?

Countable nouns nicelik olarak sayabileceğimiz, çoğul forma dönüşebilen ve önüne sayı sıfatı alabilen isimlere deriz. Örneğin “apple” ismini ele alalım;

• Three apples. Önüne sayı sıfatı ekleyebiliyoruz.  Ayrıca çoğul forma da dönüştürebiliyoruz ve nicelik olarak sayabilmemiz mümkündür. Öyleyse “apple” sözcüğünün bir countable noun olduğunu söyleyebiliriz.

Uncountable noun nedir?

Uncountable nouns kısaca sayılamayan ve çoğul formu bulunmayan isimlere denir. Ancak çoğul form durumuyla ilgili istisnalar vardır. Bunları dersin ilerleyen bölümlerinde aşağıda göreceksiniz. Bu isimler tekil  olarak sayılamadıkları için doğal olarak önlerine sayı sıfatı da koyabilmemiz mümkün değildir.
