Community nouns refer to wholes formed by the combination of parts. When we see a few birds flying somewhere, we can say that twenty-five birds are flying somewhere. But in such cases, rather than counting one by one and saying how many birds there are, as we speak in our daily language, “A flock of birds is flying somewhere.” we can say.
Community nouns should not be confused with plural nouns. For example, the word “birds” is plural and the phrase “flock of birds” is a community noun. Although community names do not have the plural suffix, when we say a flock of birds, of course, more than one bird will come to mind. Let’s increase our examples.
Family: Family is the smallest unit of society and consists of at least two individuals.
Millet: People who live in the same country and speak the same language as each other are called millets.
