What is the adjectival form of the word 'noun'?

Every result I get is for the adjectival form of a noun, not the word 'noun' itself.

Best Answer

You already had the answer in your search term - noun will normally do fine as an adjective.

Consider, for example, a noun phrase, aka nominal phrase. So far as I'm concerned, noun there is an example of adjectivalisation (it's effectively being used as an adjective, the same as nominal).

In certain contexts you might use noun-like, but I'd avoid nouny, nounish, etc.
