Qualitative property

Hey there kiddo, do you know what a property is? It's basically something that belongs to something else, like how your bike has wheels or your hair is brown, those are properties of those things.

Now, a qualitative property is a little different from a regular property because it describes an item or object in a non-numeric way. Qualitative properties are usually adjectives that describe how something looks, feels, tastes, sounds, or smells.

For example, imagine you have a red apple and a green apple. The color of the apples is a qualitative property because it doesn't involve numbers or measurements, but it still tells you something about the apples. You could also describe how the apples taste or how they feel when you bite into them, and those would also be qualitative properties.

In summary, qualitative properties are descriptions of how something looks, feels, tastes, sounds, or smells, and they don't involve numbers or measurements.
