ok guys i have a question and this is the only board that is close to what the question is about. I know that the word "hater" is not a real word but if it was would it be a noun or an adjective?

noun

Noun, it indicates an object (unless you know any other way the word is used.
"hating" as in "the hating person" is an adjective though.

See i think it is a adjective cause it describes the subject. for example. "The boy was a hater." boy being the noun and hater being the adjective since it describes the noun.

Think of it this way, "the rose is a flower" or "the car is a machine". I'm quite sure an adjective can't have a determiner.

A hater would be noun.

You put an article to it.

You are a stupid hater.
Stupid is the adjective describing the noun "hater".

Nope.
"Jess was a cat" doesn't mean 'cat' isn't a noun; 'cat' describes a whole category of things (things = nouns). Also "a hater" implies a noun, since you've given it an article.

Also, adverbs modify adjectives, verbs and other adverbs. "Jess slept peacefully"; peacefully is an adverb.

both boy and hater are nouns. adjective in that sentence would be. the boy was a compulsive hater
