Pengertian dan Contoh Compound Noun Lengkap – Compound Noun adalah kata benda yang dihasilkan dari kata dengan jumlah satu, dua, atau lebih. Kebanyakan, compound noun dalam bahasa Inggris dibuat dengan kata benda yang dimodifikasi dengan kata sifat atau kata benda lainnya.
Contoh:
Wall dan paper, keduanya yaitu kata benda. Kemudian, ditaruh secara bahu-membahu dalam satu kesatuan menjadi wallpaper (compund noun) yang artinya penghias dinding.
Scare dan crow, scare yaitu kata sifat sementara crow yaitu kata benda. Apabila digabungkan, keduanya berubah menjadi scarecrow (compound noun) yang mempunyai arti orang-orangan sawah untuk menakuti burung.
Itulah yang dinamakan dengan compound noun. Dua kata yang digabungkan menjadi satu makna. Beberapa variasi dari compound noun pasti bukan cuma sedekar noun + noun atau adjective + noun saja, di bawah ini terdapat beberapa variasi yang perlu Anda ketahui:
Noun + Noun = toothpaste
Adjective + Noun = monthly ticket
Verb + Noun = swimming pool
Preposition + Noun = underground
Noun + Verb = haircut
Noun + Preposition = hanger on
