Of, From & Some
One ending family covers possession, source, absence, and partial amounts.
The source shape answers where from, whose, what kind, or how much of it.
Lithuanian uses this pattern more often than English learners expect. It appears after from-like words, after without-like words, in ownership phrases, and when you want some of something rather than one complete item.
Use it after from and until-style ideas.
Use it for without-style phrases.
Use it when asking for some food or drink.
Use it to connect one noun to another, like a hotel reservation or city name.
Source
Where something starts
Common after from-like language.
Amount
Some, not a counted whole
Useful for drinks, foods, and substances.
No or without
Something is absent
The missing thing often takes this shape.
Of
One noun belongs to or describes another
This is the pattern behind many compact noun phrases.
I want coffee.
This asks for some coffee, not a single counted object.
Coffee without sugar.
The absent ingredient takes the source shape.
I am from Vilnius.
The place is the source of origin.
Is it far to the hotel?
The endpoint after until-style wording uses the source family.
I have a hotel reservation.
The hotel describes what kind of reservation it is.
I want coffee.
Why does coffee use the source family here?
Coffee without sugar.
What role does sugar have after without?
I have a hotel reservation.
What is the hotel word doing?
