    I. Genitive

    The genitive case is most often used for possession. AG 343

    The objective genitive depends on a noun that has a verb-like sense, and gives the object of the implied verb. For example, amor patriae (love of country): someone loves his or her country. AG 348

    The partitive genitive indicates the whole from which a part is drawn. AG 346

    The genitive can indicate the material of which something is made. AG 344
