Förstoringens

Förstoringens is the genitive form of the Swedish noun förstoring, used to indicate possession or association with a disturbance or interference. In everyday Swedish,disturbance is more commonly expressed with the noun störning, but förstoring can appear in certain formal, technical, or older texts. The form förstoringens signals that something belongs to or is caused by a disturbance.

In usage, förstoringens is typically found in phrases that discuss effects, causes, or scope related to disturbances. Examples include förstoringens konsekvenser (the disturbance’s consequences), förstoringens orsaker (the disturbance’s causes), and förstoringens omfattning (the extent of the disturbance). The construction mirrors other Swedish genitive forms, where the possessive marker -ens attaches to the base noun.

Grammatically, förstoringens is formed by adding the genitive ending -ens to the base noun. If one were to refer to multiple disturbances in possessive form, the plural possessive would be förstoringarnas (the disturbances’). Because förstoring as a standalone noun is less common than störning or forstörelse in modern usage, the possessive förstoringens tends to appear mainly in specific domains—such as legal, technical, or scholarly writing—where the nuance of a particular disturbance is being analyzed.

Related terms include störning (disturbance) and störningar (disturbances), as well as forstörelse (destruction) in contexts where the emphasis is on damage rather than interference. Overall, förstoringens remains a niche form in contemporary Swedish, used primarily to denote possession relating to a disturbance in more formal discourse.
