The Genitive Case in Greek is like a special tool that helps us show that something belongs to someone or something else. It's like saying 'of' or 'from' in English.
Important Points
The Genitive Case shows possession, like 'the book of the boy'.
It can also show origin, like 'the girl from Greece'.
In Greek, the endings of words change to show the Genitive Case.
Both nouns and adjectives can take the Genitive Case.
Examples
Το βιβλίοτου παιδιού (The book of the boy)
Η καρέκλατης δασκάλας (The chair of the teacher)
Ο χάρτηςτης Ελλάδας (The map of Greece)
In Greek, the endings of words change depending on the gender (masculine, feminine, or neuter) and number (singular or plural) of the noun.
Important Points
Masculine singular nouns often end in -ου or -α in the Genitive.
