Alquist_; =kaupungin kadut=, _the streets of the town_.
(2) As the objective genitive. =Vanhempain rakkaus=, _love for one’s
parents_; =jumalan pelko=, _fear of God_.

II. Adjectives ending in =-inen=, which express age, measure, character,
etc., take the genitive. =Vanha=, _old_, follows the same rule. =Sen
muotoinen=, _of this kind_; =sormen pituinen=, _of a finger’s length_;
=venäläisen luontoinen=, _a Russian in character_. =Pullo on kolmen lasin
vetoinen=, _the bottle holds three glasses_. =Susi on koiran näköinen=,
_a wolf looks like a dog_. =Miehen peukalon pituinen, waimon waaksan
korkeuinen= (Kal. ii. 115). If the word in the genitive is an adjective,
numeral, or pronoun, it is written as one word with the word on which it
depends. =Pahankurinen=, _ill-behaved_; =hyväntapainen=, _well-behaved_.
