There is an incredible number of English nouns that start with J.
But before we go about listing those, here are the most important things you should know about nouns in English.
Nouns are words that are used to represent a thing, place, person, or concept.
Sentences typically contain at least one noun, which most often comes before either an article or an adjective.
When it comes to forming sentences in English, most of them contain a minimum of one noun/pronoun.
However, alongside verbs, they are integral parts of most phrases in English.
For example:
“Summer is my favorite time of the year.”
There are several types of nouns; these are their categories:
- Common or proper nouns
- Countable or uncountable
- Collective
- Possessive
- Concrete or abstract
- Attributive
- Appositive
- Generic
Most Common Nouns That Start With J
A jugular: a countable noun representing the jugular vein. A jugular vein is one of the three main blood veins in the human neck, which transfers blood from one’s head to the heart.
For example: “The killer went straight to his jugular vein.”
A juvenile: a countable noun used to describe a child or a young individual that is still too young to be treated as an adult.
For example: “There are fewer juvenile people in the country year by year.”
A justice: an uncountable noun representing a fair, just approach to a specific situation. It’s typically used to refer to fairness regarding people.
For example: “There is no justice almost anywhere when it comes to the gender pay gap.”
A jailhouse: a countable noun representing a smaller prison.
A jungle: a jungle can be a variable, singular, or uncountable noun. A jungle, which means a tropical forest, is a variable noun.
But on the other hand, a jungle, as a singular noun, represents a messy, untidy place. As an uncountable noun, a jungle represents a music genre, typically fast and with lots of bass and drums.
A journalist is a countable noun representing a person who collects, researches, and writes news and stories for media. Synonyms are reporter, newsman, writer, or news correspondent.
A junction: a countable noun representing a location of joining roads and railways. A junction is a synonym for crossroad, intersection, or interchange. For example: “There is a nice motel at the junction.”
A judgment: as a variable noun, a judgment represents expressing one’s opinion after analyzing a specific matter carefully. “After I process all my feelings, I will make my judgment.”
As an uncountable noun, a judgment represents a decision made by an official in a court of law. For example: “After stating his defense, he was ready to hear the Court’s judgment.”
Judgment is also often used in sentences such as this one: “He went against his better judgment to plan the luxurious party.”
A janitor: a countable noun representing a person employed to care for a building. A janitor is a caretaker of the place with several duties, depending on the type of building they look after.
For example: “His father was a janitor in the high school he went to.”
