Läkarnas

Läkarnas is the genitive plural form of the Swedish noun läkare (doctor). It expresses possession by a group of doctors and translates to “the doctors’” in English. The possessive is formed by adding -s to the end of the plural noun, and Swedish does not use an apostrophe for possessives. Therefore, läkarnas denotes something belonging to or associated with doctors.

In usage, Läkarnas often appears in phrases, titles, or organizational names to indicate ownership or affiliation with medical professionals. Examples include Läkarnas förening (the doctors’ association), Läkarnas tidskrift (the doctors’ journal), or Läkarnas etiska regler (the doctors’ code of ethics). While Läkarnas commonly occurs in formal or institutional contexts, it is primarily a grammatical form rather than a standalone entity with an independent meaning.

Notes: The form is used to attribute possessions or associations to groups of physicians, with the exact meaning depending on the noun it modifies. In everyday speech, speakers may instead refer to läkarna (the doctors) and employ other constructions to express ownership or relation.
