If you put a word after particle "的" it instanly become a noun, right?i found a sentence in lyric that says 我会珍惜你给的思念. So i was wondering is there any form of 思念 that act as a noun and not as an active verb?and how do you translate it to english?is it "memories"?

The Chinese language is different from English, French or any other inflected languages. In the Chinese language, one important trait of nouns is that we can add a numeral-measure word phrase before the noun. 思念 here is only temporarily used as a noun in this sentence. In most contexts, if you search it in a linguistic corpus, 思念 is still used as a verb. Authoritative dictionaries mark this word as a verb too.
