Another genitive-like construction, the quantitative, is used to describe quantities of objects: אַ פֿול גלאָז הייסע טיי "a ful gloz heyse tey" (a full cup of hot tea); אַ גרופּע יונגע מענטשן "a grupe yunge mentshn" (a group of young people). The noun phrase representing the quantity is simply followed by noun representing the object described. This construction may not be used if the object has a definite article: אַ פֿול גלאָז פֿון דער הייסער טיי "a ful gloz fun der heyser tey" (a full cup of the hot tea).
