attributive genitive
The attributive genitive is a grammatical construction in which a noun, pronoun, or phrase, in the genitive case, functions as an adjective modifying another noun or noun phrase. The genitive essentially attributes or specifies a characteristic or owner of the thing it modifies. For example, in the phrase "John's car," "John's" is an attributive genitive, attributing possession of the car to John. This concept mainly applies to languages that have a genitive case or equivalent, such as Greek, Latin, Russian, and German.
