What do you mean by nutar nouns?

I don't know of the word "nutar," but "neuter," pronounced the same, refers in some languages to a gender category: "neither masculine nor feminine." Remember, there is no real grammatical gender among nouns in English. There are masculine (he,him,his), feminine (she,her,hers) and neuter (it,its) pronouns. The masculine and feminine agree with nouns indicating, respectively, male or female animate beings. Neuter pronouns agree with inanimate nouns. You can call those nouns neuter if you like, but, apart from pronoun agreement, the category has practically no significance. Not all nouns with neuter pronoun agreement should be called neuter. Names of animate nouns of indeterminate sex - cat, dog - are not neuter, but can take a neuter pronoun, (or a masc. or fem. if you happen to know the sex of your particular cat or dog.
