| prefLabel@en | genitive case |
| definition@en | Case used to express a possessive relationship (e.g. the boy's book) or some other similarly close connection (e.g. a summer's day). (source: Crystal 2003) |
| notation | genitivecase |
| example@en | The boy's book, but the back of the house. In English, inanimate objects are less frequently used with the possessive form. (source: SEW) |
| note@en |
| Hardly any English nouns decline, but the genitive case is indicated by the endings 's (belonging to one) and s' (belonging to more than one) in such phrases as the dog's bone, the cats' litter box. |
| The original example is not good at all: The brick of the wall. English would say: the brick in the wall; the brick used in the wall. |
