adjectivegenitive

adjectivegenitive refers to a grammatical construction where an adjective modifies a noun and is also in the genitive case. This is a less common but distinct grammatical feature found in some languages. Typically, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in case, number, and gender. However, in the adjectivegenitive construction, the adjective itself takes on a genitive form, often indicating possession, origin, or a subjective relationship with the noun.

For example, in Classical Greek, a phrase might appear where an adjective is in the genitive case, even though it directly describes another noun. This can be used to express that the noun possesses a certain quality, or that the quality is a characteristic *of* the noun. The precise function can vary depending on the specific language and context. Understanding adjectivegenitive constructions requires careful attention to the grammatical rules and typical usages within the language concerned. It's important to distinguish it from instances where a noun in the genitive case is modified by an adjective, which is a more straightforward possessive or descriptive relationship.
