The word 'okapi' is a noun, a word for a type of animal; a word for a thing.

A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.

Examples:

  • An okapi was grazing in the tall grass. (subject of the sentence)
  • The areas that okapi inhabit are grasslands near rain forests. (subject of the relative clause)
  • We were hoping to see an okapi. (direct object of the verb 'see')
  • I snapped a photo of the okapi. (object of the preposition 'of')
