The Genetive in German and the Possessive Construction in Turkish

In this study in which Genitive in German and possessive construction in Turkish are dealt with, ıt has been discovered that Genitive is used in the meaning of possessive indeed, that ıt has played various roles and duties during ıts usage, that it can be a subject, an object and a complement in a sentence, that ıt has expressed such relations as possession, complement-verb, occurance-existance, amount-quantity, introduction-identification, and interpretation, and that ıt has been used after the determinated as a genitive element. It has also been found out that the mostly used determinative type in Turkish is the possessive construction, and that type of complement is used in the form of “genitival construction”, “shortened genitival construction”, “determinative group for nouns” and “determinative group without a case ending”, and that the determinants in Turkish are usually used before the determinated elements, unlike German.
