nominative
In modern English, we rarely talk about the "nominative" in daily conversation; you will mostly see this term in grammar books or when learning a new language. For beginners, simply remember that the nominative is the 'subject' form of a word. For example, use 'I' (nominative) instead of 'me' (objective) when you are the person doing the action.

Sarah
This client is tripping. He wants the pronoun in the nominative here.
David
Let's just pivot and go with his flow for now.
💡
Sarah uses the slang 'tripping' to express that the client is acting irrational or making a mistake. David responds with corporate buzzwords like 'pivot', showing his habit of using business jargon even in casual texts.
