Is the word silly a noun?

Answer 1

No. 'Silly' is a person, place, thing or idea. You wouldn't say that you have a silly.

Silly is an adjective because it describes a noun.

ANS2:I have heard a person being described as "full of silly" in that sense, or in the case where you name somebody "Silly" (Hey, Silly, stop putting those beans up your nose.) silly would be functioning as a noun.

Answer 2

No, although you may have heard it used that way.

If your mom says to you "Oh, you are such a silly!", she's using it as a noun.

But to be really correct and technical about it, that word is an adjective. An

adjective is a word that tells you something about a noun, like a big dog, a

fast car, or a silly goose.
No it's an adjective.
