Genitive caseIn grammar, the genitive case (abbreviatedgen) is the grammatical case that marks a word, usually a noun, as modifying another word, also usually a noun—thus indicating an attributive relationship of one noun to the other noun. A genitive can also serve purposes indicating other relationships. For example, some verbs may feature arguments in the genitive case; and the genitive case may also have adverbial uses (see adverbial genitive).Essive caseIn grammar, the essive, or similaris, case (abbreviatedess) marks nouns as definite periods of time during which something happens or an ongoing action is completed. It can also denote a temporary location, state of being, or character in which the subject was at a given time; in this last sense, the essive is often described as being equivalent to the English prepositional phrase "as a(n) ____".
