count noun

    〔语法〕可数名词。与MASS NOUN 相对

    Contrasted with mass noun
    Example sentencesExamples
    • It's been a long time since I even noticed uses of troop as a count noun meaning ‘soldier’.
    • We need a term that distinguishes (at least) two types of count nouns, and ‘collective noun’ is a really wonderful name for one of them.
    • Singular count nouns like ‘eye’ normally can't occur without a preceding determiner (not ‘I saw eye’, but instead ‘I saw a/one/the/this/its eye ’).
    • This is borne out by our ways of describing them, using always count nouns rather than mass nouns.
    • For fear of this, they want to forestall the conversion of certain proper noun trademarks into common count nouns.
