Effekternas

Effekternas is the genitive plural form of the Swedish noun effekter (effects). It is used to indicate possession or attribution related to multiple effects, or to refer to the effects as belonging to something. In Swedish, the plural possessive is formed by adding -nas to the plural definite form, yielding effekternas. The construction is common in scientific, policy, and media texts when authors discuss how different effects relate to their causes or to other elements of a system.

Usage notes: effekternas is typically followed by another noun in the definite form, as in effekternas omfattning (the extent of the effects) or effekternas långsiktiga påverkan (the long-term impact of the effects). It functions to link the effects to a particular context, source, or consequence, and it can occur in sentences that compare, assess, or summarize effects within a study or analysis.

Examples: "Effekternas omfattning varierade mellan olika scenarier." "Effekternas långsiktiga påverkan på biodiversiteten måste beaktas i beslutsunderlaget." "Forskningen undersöker effekternas ursprung och hur de sammanfaller med andra mekanismer."

Limitations: As a possessive form, effekternas can become cumbersome if used repeatedly; writers may choose to rephrase to avoid ambiguity or repetition. See also: effekter, effekten, genitiv på svenska.
