Diskens

Diskens is the genitive form of the Swedish noun disk. It marks possession or attribution and is formed by adding the suffix -s to the definite singular form disken, yielding diskens. The noun disk refers to various circular, flat objects, most commonly data storage devices such as hard disks and optical disks, but also to physical disks in mechanical or architectural contexts.

Usage of diskens occurs across domains where one describes a property of a specific disk. Typical examples include diskens kapacitet (the disk’s capacity), diskens hastighet (the disk’s speed), and diskens ytbehandling or diskens yta (the disk’s surface). In Swedish technical writing you will frequently see phrases like hårddiskens kapacitet or diskens prestanda, depending on the context and level of formality. The construction is general and applies to any kind of disk referred to in the sentence.

Grammatical notes: diskens functions as a genitive possessive form attached to the definite singular noun disken. The corresponding forms for other cases (such as plural) follow the standard Swedish possessive patterns. In everyday language, the same genitive construction can be used when the context makes clear which disk is meant, whether it is a data storage device, a compact disk, or another disk-like object.
