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: one formed without any suffix (e.g. demander → une demande), or any noun descending from a verb (e.g. dévier → une déviation).[2]
