Editing Genitive case (section)

==Japanese==
[[Japanese language|Japanese]] construes the genitive by using the [[grammatical particle]] ''no'' の.  It can be used to show a number of relationships to the head noun. For example:
:猫の手 ''neko-no te'' ("cat's paw")
:学生の一人 ''gakusei-no hitori'' ("one of the students")
:金の指輪 ''kin-no yubiwa'' ("a ring of gold")
:京都のどこ ''Kyouto-no doko'' ("where of (in) Kyoto")
:富士の山 ''Fuji-no yama'' ("the mountain of Fuji" [Mt. Fuji])
The archaic genitive case particle ''-ga'' ～が is still retained in certain expressions, place names, and dialects. Possessive ''ga'' can also be written as a [[small ke]] ({{lang|ja|ヶ}}), for example in {{nihongo||霞ヶ丘|Kasumigaoka}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sljfaq.org/afaq/small-ke.html|title=What is the small katakana ke in 霞ヶ丘 and 一ヶ月?|website=sci.lang.japan}}</ref>

Typically, languages have nominative case nouns converting into genitive case. It has been found, however, that the [[Kansai dialect]] of Japanese will in rare cases allow accusative case to convert to genitive, if specific conditions are met in the clause in which the conversion appears. This is referred to as "Accusative-Genitive conversion."<ref>{{cite journal|last=Shin'ya|first=Asano|author2=Hiroyuki Una|title=Mood and Case: with special reference to genitive Case conversion in Kansai Japanese.|journal=Journal of East Asian Linguistics|date=February 2010|volume=19|issue=1|pages=37–59|doi=10.1007/s10831-009-9055-y|s2cid=123519063 }}</ref>
