In this video, I explain impersonal and special constructions with object pronouns in the genitive in Russian. I begin by giving a quick reminder of the genitive’s questions, object pronouns, and main functions - Possession (Attribution) & Absence (Denial). Later, I present a more detailed explanation of how impersonal constructions are used in the genitive, such as using У (by) and Eсть (there is), to expressively show possession, along with how the genitive grammar is fully utilized under absence. Then, I quickly recap the minor concepts of the genitive (like description, time, and quantitative determiners) and elaborate more about the useful concepts that are needed with special constructions and object pronouns - Cardinal numbers, location, and special prepositions. Because there is a lot to know about the genitive and all of its usages, I present many examples and go more in-depth about every single idea that the genitive offers.

(Realized I made a few mistakes when explaining; at 9:07, it should say m,s / f,s / n,s / NOT p; at 12:43, I meant to say prepositions, NOT pronouns, my apologies)
