| | Nominative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The nominative case (also called the first case or straight case - in Spanish and Portuguese) is a grammatical case for a noun, which generally marks the subject of a verb, as opposed to its object or other verb arguments. |
 | | The nominative case is the usual, natural form (more technically, the least marked) of certain parts of speech, such as nouns, adjectives, pronouns and less frequently numerals and participles, and sometimes does not indicate any special relationship with other parts of speech. |
 | | Therefore, in some languages the nominative case is unmarked, that is, the nominative word is the base form or stem, with no inflection; alternatively, it may said to be marked by a zero morpheme. |
