Deverbal nouns are nouns that are derived from verbs or verb phrases.
Formation[edit]
Hausa[edit]
Verbal nouns and deverbal nouns are distinct syntactic word classes. Functionally, deverbal nouns operate as autonomous common nouns,[1] while verbal nouns retain verbal characteristics.[clarification needed]
French[edit]
There are two connotations of the deverbal nouns: the one formed without any suffix,[example needed] or any noun descending from a verb.[2]
