genitivally

Genitivally is an adverb derived from the word "genitive." The genitive case, in grammar, typically indicates possession or a relationship between nouns. Therefore, "genitivally" describes something that is done or expressed in a manner related to or characteristic of the genitive case. For example, a linguist might analyze how a particular language expresses possession genitivally, meaning through grammatical structures analogous to the genitive case in other languages. It can also be used to describe how an adjective or noun modifies another noun to show a possessive or relational meaning, even if not strictly in a grammatical genitive form. The term is not commonly used in everyday language and is more likely to be encountered in academic or specialized linguistic discussions. Its usage emphasizes the function or characteristic of expressing possession or a close relationship between elements.
