överenskommelsen

Överenskommelsen is a Swedish noun that denotes a negotiated agreement reached by two or more parties after discussion or bargaining. It is a concrete outcome rather than a general rule, often used in political, labor, business, or legal contexts. The term is commonly employed in journalistic and official language to refer to a specific settlement that has been agreed upon.

Grammar and usage notes: the indefinite singular is överenskommelse, the definite singular is överenskommelsen, the indefinite plural is överenskommelser, and the definite plural is överenskommelserna. The word is formed from the verb överenskomma (to come to an agreement) with the noun-forming suffix -else, and the definite form is created with the appropriate article suffix.

Contexts and examples: in politics, the word is often used when parties reach a formal deal on policy or governmental arrangements. In labor relations, it may describe a settlement between employers and unions. In legal or contractual work, it can refer to a negotiated contract or settlement between parties. The term can function as a generic descriptor or as a title for a specific agreement when the negotiated settlement is treated as a defined document or pact.

See also: avtal (contract), förhandling (negotiation), pakt (pact), överenskommelse (the general concept of agreement).

Note: while överenskommelsen can refer to any particular negotiated agreement, it may also appear as a formal title for a well-known or widely discussed pact in historical or contemporary contexts, depending on the discourse.
