Försäljningens

Försäljningens is the genitive form of the Swedish noun försäljning, which means sale, selling, or the act of selling. As a possessive form, försäljningens is used to indicate ownership or relation to the sale or selling process, and it typically appears directly before another noun in compound phrases such as försäljningens pris (the sale’s price) or försäljningens resultat (the sales outcome). By itself, försäljningens is not a standalone concept; it functions as a grammatical form that links to a following noun.

Etymology and grammar: försäljning is built from the verb försälja (to sell) plus the noun-forming suffix -ning, yielding the explicit sense of “the act of selling.” Its definite form is försäljningen (the sale, the selling). The genitive is formed by adding -s: försäljningens. Swedish commonly uses -s genitives to express ownership or association with a noun.

Usage and context: The form appears mainly in formal, technical, or legal/business Swedish. Typical contexts include financial reporting, contracts, or policy discussions where one specifies aspects related to the sale, such as försäljningens intäkter (the revenues from sales) or försäljningens regler (the sales-related rules). Additionally, the root försäljning gives rise to compounds with the prefix försäljnings-, as in försäljningsavdelningen (the sales department) or försäljningskanaler (sales channels).
