Keywords: possession; genitive; Romanian as a foreign language;
Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses the acquisition and use of the noun in the genitive to express possession by Slovenian L1 students studying Romanian as a foreign language at the University of Ljubljana. Starting from a comparative perspective of the expression of possession in Romanian and Slovenian and of the structural and functional differences between the two languages, we follow the difficulties encountered by Slovenian students in using the genitive forms. Our research is limited to groups of students studying Romanian as a foreign language at levels A1, A2 and B1 and highlights the evolution in the use of nouns in the genitive case in both written and verbal communication.
