==Dravidian languages== ===Kannada=== In Kannada, the genitive case-endings are: for masculine or feminine nouns ending in "ಅ" (a): ನ (na) * Examples: ''sūrya-na'' ('of the sun') for neuter nouns ending in "ಅ" (a): ದ (da) * Examples: ''mara-da'' ('of the tree') for all nouns ending in "ಇ" (i), "ಈ" (ī), "ಎ" (e), or "ಏ" (ē): ಅ (a) * Examples: ''mane-y-a'' ('of the house'; a linking "y" is added between the stem and the suffix) for all nouns ending in "ಉ" (u), "ಊ" (ū), "ಋ" (r̥), or "ೠ" (r̥̄): ಇನ (ina) * Examples; ''guru-v-ina'' ('of the teacher'; a linking "v" is added between the stem and the suffix) Most postpositions in Kannada take the genitive case.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Sridhar |first1=S. N. |title=Modern Kannada Grammar |date=2007 |isbn=9788173047671 |pages=93–94|publisher=Manohar }}</ref> ===Tamil=== In Tamil, the genitive case ending is the word உடைய or இன், which signifies possession. Depending on the last letter of the noun, the genitive case endings may vary. If the last letter is a consonant (மெய் எழுத்து), like க், ங், ச், ஞ், ட், ண், த், ந், ப், ம், ய், ர், ல், வ், ழ், then the suffix உடைய/இன் gets added. *Examples: His: அவன் + உடைய = அவனுடைய, Doctor's: மருத்துவர் + உடைய = மருத்துவருடைய, மருத்துவர் + இன் = மருத்துவரின் Kumar's: குமார் + உடைய = குமாருடைய, குமார்+ இன் = குமாரின்
