Lokationens

Lokationens is a possessive form found in several Scandinavian languages, notably Danish and Norwegian, and occasionally in Swedish in technical contexts. The term is built from the noun lokation, a loanword from English location, and the suffix -ens that signals a definite genitive relation, effectively meaning “the location’s.” As a determiner for a following noun, lokationens marks possession or attribution related to a specific place.

In usage, lokationens appears in formal and technical writing. Common phrases include lokationens koordinater (the location’s coordinates) and lokationens ejer (the owner of the location). The construction helps specify attributes that belong to or are associated with a particular place, without repeating the noun lokation. It is most frequently encountered in geospatial, logistical, administrative, or real estate contexts, and in bilingual texts where English terminology appears alongside local grammar.

Morphologically, lokationens is formed by taking lokation and adding the definite possessive suffix -ens, which aligns with similar genitive patterns in Danish and Norwegian. The form is typically used when the location is already established in discourse, so the genitive phrase can follow a definite article or a possessive determiner elsewhere in the sentence.

Notes and limitations: in everyday speech, speakers may opt for simpler constructions or native synonyms, especially in Swedish or informal registers where lokation is less common. Swedish tends to prefer plats or lokalisering in many contexts, and lokationens may appear primarily in technical or bilingual texts.
