Avlingens

Avlingens is the genitive singular form of the Swedish noun avlingen, which means harvest, yield, or crop. The base noun avling denotes what is produced by agriculture in a season; the definite form is avlingen (the harvest), and the possessive/genitive form is avlingens (the harvest’s, of the harvest).

In Swedish, the genitive is commonly formed by adding -s to the noun’s definite form, yielding avlingens. This form marks possession or relation to the harvest and appears in agricultural writing, historical narratives, or literary contexts. In everyday language, avling is often used alongside or instead of skörd as a term for harvest, with avlingens used in more formal or technical expressions.

Common usages include phrases such as avlingens kvalitet (the harvest’s quality), avlingens storlek (the harvest’s size), and avlingens ekonomiska betydelse (the harvest’s economic significance). The word functions as a modifier or possessor within a broader noun phrase, referring to attributes, consequences, or aspects connected to the harvest.
