Avsändarens

Avsändarens is a Swedish possessive form meaning “the sender’s.” It is the possessive of avsändare, the noun for a sender or transmitter of a message, letter, package, or other communication. Avsändare denotes the person or organization that sends something; avsändaren is the definite form “the sender,” and avsändarens marks ownership or association to that sender.

In Swedish, possessive forms are created by adding the suffix -s to the noun. Therefore, avsändare becomes avsändarens in the singular possessive (the sender’s). The plural possessive is avsändarnas (the senders’). This makes phrases such as avsändarens namn (the sender’s name), avsändarens adress (the sender’s address), and avsändarens e-post (the sender’s email) common in letters, forms, and metadata.

Usage and context: Avsändarens is typically used in formal or semi-formal writing to specify something that belongs to the sender, such as contact details or originating information. It appears in postal instructions, document templates, and digital communication contexts, including forms and headers where attribution to the sender is relevant.

Etymology and related terms: The word avsändare is formed from av- (a prefix meaning “off” or “away”) and sändare (transmitter, sender). Related terms include avsändare (sender) and avsändarens (the sender’s).
