Genitive
Ownership Clarity
Use genitive to clarify who owns something in a sentence, preventing confusion.

In 'Samantha's glasses,' we understand the glasses belong to Samantha.
Not Always Possession
Genitive can also show other relationships, not just ownership, like origin or type.

'Women's rights' signifies rights related to women, not owned by them.
Cultural Nuance
In some cultures, using genitive can imply familiarity or respect when referring to people.

Calling a place 'Maria's café' may imply warmth or personal connection.
