Kursens

Kursens is the genitive (possessive) form of the Swedish noun kurs, used to indicate ownership or association with a course, a price, or a rate. Kurs has several common senses in modern Swedish: a course or class (en kurs), a price or rate, and, in financial contexts, an exchange rate (valutakurs). The possessive is formed by adding the suffix -s to the noun stem, yielding kursens, as in kursens pris (the course’s price) or valutakursens förändring (the change in the exchange rate). The definite form of kurs is kursen, and kursens is derived from that stem.

Kursens appears in formal and written language and is commonly used in education, finance, and media. It functions within noun phrases to show possession or association, for example kursens innehåll (the course’s content) or valutakursens utveckling (the development of the exchange rate). When the noun is part of a compound, the genitive attaches to the final element, as in valutakursens förändring. In everyday speech, speakers may instead describe ownership using alternative constructions, such as priset för kursen (the price for the course), depending on the context. The term itself is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form whose precise meaning depends on the base noun and the surrounding context.
