名詞子句
Noun Clause
A noun clause refers to a clause inserted into a sentence, serving the functions of a noun. In this video, in the sentence "That's what everybody wants, isn't it?", "what everybody wants" acts as the noun/object, meaning "the thing (that) everybody wants".

所謂名詞子句，就是在句子當中嵌入一個地位形同名詞的子句。以本支影片所出現的句子舉例， That's what everybody wants, isn't it?（這就是人人都想要的，不是嗎？）本句的 what everybody wants，便是扮演名詞/受詞的功能，表示「每個人所想要的東西」。因此，它也可以改寫成 the thing (that) everyone wants。
