Questions & Answers about Η επιβίβαση οχημάτων γίνεται από τον καταπέλτη.

Why is οχημάτων in the genitive case?

Because it depends on η επιβίβαση.

Η επιβίβαση οχημάτων literally means the boarding of vehicles.
This is a very common Greek pattern:

• η επιβίβαση επιβατών = the boarding of passengers
• η φόρτωση εμπορευμάτων = the loading of goods

So οχημάτων is genitive plural of όχημα and shows what is being boarded.

Why doesn’t οχημάτων have an article here?

Because the phrase is general: vehicle boarding or the boarding of vehicles.

Greek often leaves out the article in this kind of genitive phrase when speaking generally:

• η πώληση εισιτηρίων = ticket sales / the sale of tickets
• η μεταφορά εμπορευμάτων = transport of goods

If you said η επιβίβαση των οχημάτων, that would usually sound more specific, like the boarding of the vehicles—particular vehicles already known from the context.
