17.3 Genitive Case of Adjectives
In this module, you will learn the genitive case endings of adjectives for all genders and for plural. You will practice agreement between adjectives and nouns in all the genitive case contexts covered in Dobra forma. To review these contexts, see Module 5.2, Module 6.1, Module 7.1, Module 7.2, Module 7.3 and Module 7.4.
Завдання 1
Read the dialogues below and note the genitive case forms of the adjectives. Note also that most of these forms coincide with the accusative case forms of adjectives that modify animate nouns (see Module 17.2). Only the feminine adjectives have a distinct form (see the underlined endings below).
– Ти бу́деш шокола́дний торт чи вані́льне моро́зиво?– Ой, я не мо́жу ї́сти ні шокола́дного то́рта, ні вані́льного моро́зива. Я на діє́ті!
– Бу́деш ї́сти сма́жену карто́плю?– Ні, дя́кую. Я не їм сма́женої карто́плі.
– Хо́чеш соло́дкі млинці́ з си́ром на десе́рт?– Ні, дя́кую. Я не люблю́ соло́дких млинці́в.

Note also that the noun being described is in the case required grammatically by the sentence, but the phrase in the genitive must be specifically in that case to fulfill the attributive function.
