nominative
Case for subjects
Nominative refers to the grammatical case of a noun or pronoun when it functions as the subject of a sentence.
In English, this matters mainly for pronouns: I rather than me, she rather than her, they rather than them.
Languages like Latin, German, and Russian mark nominative case on nouns as well.
The term also means existing in name only or relating to names: nominative determinism is the theory that people gravitate toward professions matching their surnames.
