Posszív

Posszív is a term used in linguistics to describe a grammatical possessive construction. It refers to the way possession or a similar relationship is expressed in a language. In many languages, including English, this is often achieved through the use of possessive determiners like "my," "your," "his," "her," "its," "our," and "their," or through the genitive case, commonly marked with an apostrophe and "s" (e.g., "John's book").

The concept of posszív encompasses a range of grammatical strategies employed to indicate ownership, origin, or association. These can include prepositions, case marking, word order, or separate possessive pronouns. For instance, in some languages, possession might be shown by placing the possessor before the possessed item without any specific marker, while in others, a distinct particle or suffix is required. The specific mechanisms for expressing posszív vary significantly across the world's languages, reflecting diverse approaches to grammatical structure. Understanding posszív is crucial for analyzing how languages encode relationships between entities.
