| Живот больного был неестественно вздут. | The patient's abdomen was unnaturally distended. |
| Он выпятил свой живот. | He stuck out his belly. |
NB When the word живот functions as a subject and does not have a descriptive modifier, the construction живот у + Genitive is often preferred to (a) and (b), above: | |
| Живот у больного был неестественно вздут. | The patient's abdomen was unnaturally distended. |
