The nominative case (abbreviated NOM ), subjective case , straight case or upright case is either a grammatical case of a noun or other part of speech, which generally marks the subject of a verb or predicate noun or adjective adjective, as opposed to a verb object or other verb argument. In general, the noun "do something" is nominative, and the nominative is often a form listed in the dictionary.

Etimologi
Nominative comes from the Latin sus nomin? T? Vus "naming case", translated from Ancient Greek ?????????? ??????, onomastik? ptÃÆ'Â'sis "inflection for naming", from onomÃÆ'¡z? "call by name", from ÃÆ'³noma "name". Dionysius Thrax in his Art of Grammar calls it orth? or eutheÃÆ'®a "straight", unlike the oblique case or "bending".

Characteristics
The (more technically, least marked ) reference forms of certain parts of the conversation are usually in the nominative case, but they are often not the full specification of the reference form, as the number and sex may need to be determined. Thus, a less marked reference or form of an adjective may be a nominative single masculine form.
The parts of the speech that are often rejected and therefore may have nominative cases are nouns, adjectives, pronouns and (less often) numbers and participation. The nominative case often shows the subject of a verb but sometimes does not indicate a particular relationship with another part of the sentence. In some languages, the nominative case is not marked, and then it can be said to be marked with a zero morpheme. Moreover, in most languages ​​with nominative cases, the nominative form is lemma; ie, it is a reference form used to quote a word, to register it as a dictionary entry etc.
The nominative cases are found in Arabic, Estonian, Slovak, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Georgian, German, Latin, Greek, Icelandic, Old English, French, Polish, Serbian, Czech, Romanian, Russian, and Pashto, other languages. English still retains some nominative pronouns, which are contrasted accusatively (proportional to oblique or disjunctive in some other languages): me (accusative me ), we (accusative us ), he (accusative he ), he (accusative him) ), them (accusative them ) and who (accusative who ). The most ancient usage in the current English dialect is the singular second person pronoun you (accusative thee ). A special case is the word you : initially, you are the nominative form and you are accusative, but over time, you > has been used for the nominative as well.
The term "nominative case" is best used in nominative-accusative language discussions, such as Latin, Greek and most modern Western European languages.
In the stative-active language, there are cases, sometimes called nominative, the uppermost and used for the subject of transitive verbs or volunteer subjects of intransitive verbs but not for the unintentional subject of the intransitive verb. Since the language is a relatively new field of study, there is no standard name for the case.
Subjective case
English is now often described as having subjective, rather than nominative, cases to draw attention to the distinction between nominative generic "standards" and how they are used in English. The term objective case is then used for the oblique case, which includes the accusative, dative and object roles of a preposition. This genitive case is usually referred to as possessive , not a noun per se . English is then said to have two cases: subjective and objective.
