A noun is a part of speech that is used for people, places objects, conditions and emotions. Here are examples:
department
happiness
situation
idea

Hello!
Why don't we use indefinite article a in this sentence? It is a thing?! |

Hello, gemii. Try this:
We asked the operation staff about the bin as you recommended, and they replied that it is... [there seems to be a word missing at the end, gemii.]

When we say 'It is thing', we mean 'It is the word thing'. Which means that a noun refers to the name of a thing not to the thing itself. |

.
The two words are not related in any way, Rsgarg.
Thing: (noun) an entity that is not named specifically.
Think: (verb) use or exercise the mind or one's power of reason in order to make inferences, decisions, or arrive at a solution or judgments.
