Ηελλο to everybody,
I have a doubt about the use of νέος | νέα.

I know that as adjectives they mean "young".

But what happened when they are used as nouns?
Do they respectively mean "a young man" and "a young woman"?

Many thanks in advance!

Answer

''Αυτός είναι νέος''.Νέος is an adjective which functions here as a noun.Νέος used as a noun in similar cases implies the existence of the word ''man'' despite the fact that the word is not written in the sentence. 
e.g. Οι νέοι σήμερα είναι ανεξάρτητοι. = The young men today are independent.

Answer

yes
νέος=a young man
νέα=a young woman

Answer

ciao.. νέος come un aggettivo significa nuovo..
ma come sostantivo significa giovane.
