A part of speech in grammar that names a person, place, thing, or abstract concept. Substantive are also called Nomen or Hauptwörter in German and are capitalized in German.

The word 'Substantiv' (noun) is part of a word family. The related verb is 'substantivieren' (to nominalize) and the adjective is 'substantivisch' (nominal). All of these words refer to the grammatical function of nouns.

subject
'Subjekt' and 'Substantiv' are both words from grammar, but they do not describe the same thing. A 'Subjekt' is a part of a sentence and says who or what does something in the sentence or is in a certain state. A 'Substantiv' is a part of speech, for example a word for a person, thing, or idea. The words can be confused because a subject often consists of a noun. But a noun is not automatically the subject of a sentence. For the subject, ask: 'Wer oder was?' (Who or what?) For the noun, the question is more like: 'What part of speech is this?'
Das Wort „Freundschaft“ ist ein Substantiv und wird großgeschrieben.
The word 'Freundschaft' (friendship) is a noun and is capitalized.
Im Satz „Der Hund schläft“ ist „der Hund“ das Subjekt.
In the sentence 'Der Hund schläft' (The dog is sleeping), 'der Hund' is the subject.
