Well, there are rules about whether a genitive takes -i or -y.
The most important rule is that nouns ending in -ga or -ka have their genitives in -gi or -ki. Many of the fem. nouns encountered in this course end in -ka, so you get to see a lot of -ki genitives.
This goes some way to explain why "torba" -> "torby" but "torebka" -> "torebki" as mentioned in Jellei's response just above this conversation.
HTH...
I think it would help learning a lot if when you click on a word it shows not only the meaning but also gender, number and case (and ideally even the root word). I made zero headway with the grammar despite reaching this point which expects quite a lot of grammatical knowledge. Eventually went and bought a book instead
