1. 1

    In some languages, a noun changes its shape to show what job it is doing in the sentence. The nominative is the shape you use when that noun is the one doing the action — the subject. English barely does this any more: we still say I (nominative) but me (not nominative), and he but him. Latin, German, Russian and many others do it much more. This is a grammar-classroom word. You will meet it if you study those languages, or older English grammar. It does not mean “someone who was nominated”; that is nominee.
