What is abstract noun for tan?
Asked by Wiki User
I am not sure there is one. Tan is generally an adjective (it's a color, and it describes a noun) or it can be a verb (referring to staying out in the sun). The only time it is used as a noun, it is the shortened version of "suntan," -- but it is not an abstract noun. Here is an example of using the word as a noun: If you go to the beach to get a tan, be careful not to get sunburned.
Note that an abstract noun refers to a noun you can not experience with your five senses-- it cannot be touched, seen, heard, tasted, or smelled. Some examples of abstract nouns are justice, bravery, courage, hate, curiosity, and amazement. You can experience the results of these things, but you cannot see or hear or smell or touch or taste them. A suntan is something you can feel or see, so it can not be an abstract noun.
