Evenemangens

Evenemangens is a Swedish possessive/genitive form related to the noun evenemang, meaning “event.” It marks possession or association with an event or with multiple events, and is used in noun phrases to indicate that something belongs to or is connected with that event or those events.

In Swedish, the genitive is formed by adding the possessive suffix -s to the definite form of a noun. For the singular, the definite form is evenemanget, giving evenemangets as “the event’s.” For the plural, the definite form is evenemangen, giving evenemangens as “the events’.” The form is chosen to match number, so evenemangets program means “the event’s program,” while evenemangens program means “the events’ program.”

Evenemangens is commonly used before another noun in a possessive construction, for example evenemangets program (the event’s program) or evenemangens publik (the events’ audience). Swedish uses this -s possessive without an apostrophe, unlike English.

Usage notes: The singular form refers to one event, while the plural form indicates ownership by multiple events. The choice of evenemangets or evenemangens helps clarify whether the reference is to a single event or to several events. The construction is frequent in official, descriptive, and journalistic writing about schedules, venues, and organizational details related to events such as conferences, festivals, or performances.
