στουat his/its place (masc./neut. genitive)
στωνat their place (plural genitive)
στηto/at the (feminine accusative)
τηςof her, of the (feminine genitive article/pronoun)
σεto, at, inEtymology
Στης is a fusion of the preposition σε ("to, at") and της, the feminine genitive singular form of the definite article ("of the"). It works like στου (masculine) and στων (plural): the noun that follows sits in the genitive, and a word like σπίτι ("house") is left unsaid but understood. So στης Μαρίας literally reads "at the [house] of Maria".
