Däckens

Däckens is the genitive form of the definite plural noun däcken, meaning “the tires,” in Swedish. It is used to indicate possession or association with tires, and is formed by adding the possessive suffix -s to the definite plural form däcken. Consequently, däckens corresponds to the English possessive “the tires’.”

In practical usage, däckens appears in descriptive or technical contexts such as automotive reports, product specifications, or narrative passages discussing vehicle components. Examples include däckens mönster (the tires’ tread), däckens slitage (the tires’ wear), and däckens tryck (the tires’ inflation/pressure). These phrases convey that the attribute belongs to or concerns the tires.

The Swedish genitive system commonly attaches -s to the possessor, and däckens demonstrates this with a plural definite possessor. It is distinct from merely saying “the tires” (däcken), which is the subject or object form rather than a possessive construct. In English translations, däckens is rendered as “the tires’.”

Notes and alternatives: Swedish often relies on definiteness and possessive constructions rather than postposed adjectives; the form däckens is most naturally encountered in writing or formal contexts dealing with tire-related properties or ownership.
