genitiivpluural

Genitiivpluural refers to the genitive plural form of nouns in some languages, most notably Finnish. The genitive case generally indicates possession or a close relationship. In the plural, it marks this relationship for multiple items. For example, in Finnish, the genitive plural of 'talo' (house) is 'talojen' (of the houses). This form is crucial for constructing phrases like 'talojen katoista' (of the houses' roofs) or 'naapuritalojen ikkunat' (the windows of the neighboring houses).

The genitiivpluural is used in various grammatical constructions. It often appears after prepositions or postpositions that govern the genitive case, and it is also used to express possession in certain sentence structures. The formation of the genitive plural varies depending on the noun's declension class and ending in Finnish. This grammatical feature allows for precise expression of relationships between multiple entities in the language. Understanding the genitiivpluural is essential for accurate comprehension and production of Finnish grammar.
