Komplexets

Komplexets is a grammatical form used in Swedish (and similarly in Norwegian and Danish) to express possession of the definite noun complex. The base noun komplex means a complex, which can refer to a group of buildings, a set of related elements, or a mathematical object such as a complex number. In its definite form, the noun becomes komplexet, meaning “the complex.” To indicate ownership, Swedish uses the possessive form by adding the suffix -s to the definite form, yielding komplexets, meaning “the complex’s” or “belonging to the complex.”

In usage, komplexets is commonly found in formal or academic prose when describing attributes of a complex. Example: “Komplexets byggnad har en ny fasad,” meaning “The complex’s building has a new facade.” The construction follows standard Swedish possessive formation, where -s attaches to the definite form of the noun.

Etymology and related forms: the noun komplex is a borrowing that ultimately traces to Latin complexus, through German or French and English, with the definite form komplexet and the possessive komplexets following regular Swedish inflection patterns.

Note: komplexets is a grammatical form, not a distinct concept by itself; its meaning derives from the possessive relationship to kompleks in context.
