	Russian Language Lesson 10 - The Russian Genitive Case - Main Lesson - Russian Language Lessons
		As the genitive case relates to possession, it is also used to create a way of saying âto haveâ or âto not haveâ.
		For example, in the first sentence: âÐ‘ÑÐ°Ñâ(brother) is the subject of the sentence and uses the nominative case, âÐÐ´Ð°Ð¼Ð°â (Adam) is the owner of the first noun and uses the genitive case, âÐÐ¾ÑÐºÐ²Ñâ (Moscow) is the direct object of the verb and uses the Accusative case.
		The genitive case is used to correspond to the English word âofâ.

	Genitive case (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In grammar, the genitive case (or possessive case; also called the second case when discussing certain languages) is the case that marks a noun as being the possessor of another noun.
		The 18th century explanation that the apostrophe might replace a genitive pronoun, as in "the king's horse" being a shortened form of "the king, his horse", is erroneous (a construction which actually occurs in German dialects and has replaced the genitive there, together with the "of" construction that also exists in English).
		In Baltic-Finnic languages, the accusative case -(e)n is homophonic to the genitive case.

	Genitive case
		The genitive case is a grammatical case that indicates a relationship, primarily one of possession, between the noun in the genitive case and another noun.
		The 18th century explanation that the apostrophe might replace a genitive pronoun, as in "the king's horse" being a shortened form of "the king, his horse", is erroneous (a construction which actually occurs in German dialects and has replaced the genitive there, together with the "of" construction that also exists in English).
		These are sometimes not identified as the genitive case, and in many instances are not marked with the apostrophe, but these usages demonstrate use of nouns in the genitive case as adverbs in the Germanic language, indicating the time when the events described happen.

		It is a common misconception that English nouns have a genitive case, marked by the possessive " 's " ending.
		Linguists however have shown that the English possessive is not a case at all, but rather a clitic, an independent word which however is always written and pronounced as part of the preceding word.

	GENITIVE
		Genitive of Material: this term identifies the use of the genitive to specify the material out of which something is made: a statue of marble, rivers of milk and honey, books of examples, and so on.
		Genitive of Characteristic: this name sounds almost redundant with the category "genitive of description," but grammar is a technical study and this is a technical term with a very precise meaning.
		When the genitive case is found with the verb "to be" (or equivalent expresssion), apparently NOT modifying a noun but followed by an infinitive, we have a genitive of characteristic.

	The Russian Prepositions (Genitive Case)

		The genitive case is associated with non-existence and negation.
		There are six genitive prepositions which indicate the origin or source of their objects: из(о)+Gen "(out) of", с(о)+Gen (down) from, от(о)+Gen "(away) from", из-за+Gen "from behind, because of", ис-под+Gen "from under", and после+Gen "after".

		Before addressing our main concern---how objective case is licensed on the embedded subject her, we digress briefly to provide an independent piece of evidence in favor of the structure in (35), which is based on the distribution of expletive there.
		Case licensing is a relationship between a head and an 'outside' noun phrase (that is, a noun phrase distinct from any projections of the case-checking head).

	Greek Cases
		The substantive in the nominative case is frequently the subject of a finite verb.
		The substantive in the genitive case refers to the same thing as the substantive to which it is related.
		In the genitive of apposition, the head noun will (1) state a large category, (2) be ambiguous, or (3) be metaphorical in its meaning, while the genitive names a concrete or specific example that either falls within that category, clarifies its ambiguity, or brings the metaphor down to earth.

	Syntactical Classification of Genitive Case

		Attributive Genitive - (Sometimes called the Descriptive Genitive.) - The word in the genitive case is being used as an adjective, describing an attribute or quality to the head noun.
		Genitive of Source - Sometimes the genitive case indicates the source from which the head noun is derived or depends.

	The Genitive Case in Latin
		The chief use of the genitive case in Latin is to qualify nouns.
		The word or words which are found in the genitive case DESCRIBE, DEFINE, or CLASSIFY the person or thing which is denoted by the noun which is being qualified.
		The kinds of connections between the genitive and the noun which it qualifies are quite varied, and their complexity may well derive from the fact that some of the genitive ideas were once separate cases (as they still are in other related languages, like Sanscrit).

	The Middle Dutch case system
		The first case (nominative) can be used for the subject, the nominal part of the predicate or an addressed person.
		In the latter case the gender and number of the relative pronoun are dependent on the antecedent, whilst the case is determined by its function in the subordinate clause.
		The loss of case endings during the three centuries covered by Middle Dutch meant that the function of the sentence parts had to be shown in a different way.

	Engl401 \| Lessons \| The Four Main Cases: Masculine and Neuter Strong Nouns
		The genitive case is also used for a lot of other relationships more or less remotely analogous to possession.
		For masculine strong nouns, the demonstrative pronoun alone signals the case: it is sé in the singular.
		Unlike masculine nouns for which the demonstrative changes in the accusative (the object case, in the sentences we saw in Lesson 2) to þone, the neuter demonstrative does not change from nominative to accusative: it remains þæt, so word order alone may indicate which noun is the subject and which the object.
