Genitive case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1052 words) |
 | 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. |
| In some languages, nouns in the genitive case also agree in case with the nouns they modify (that is, it is marked for two cases). |
| In Baltic-Finnic languages, the accusative case -(e)n is homophonic to the genitive case. |
| Nominative case - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (333 words) |
| The nominative case is a grammatical case for a noun, which generally marks the subject of a verb, as opposed to its object or other verb arguments. |
| The nominative case is the usual, natural form (more technically, the least marked) of certain parts of speech, such as nouns, adjectives, pronouns and less frequently numerals and participles, and sometimes does not indicate any special relationship with other parts of speech. |
| Therefore, in some languages the nominative case is unmarked, that is, the nominative word is the base form or stem, with no inflection; alternatively, it may said to be marked by a null morpheme. |
