Missionens

Missionens is the possessive form of the noun mission in Swedish. It is used to indicate ownership or association with a specific mission, for example missionens mål (the mission's goal) or missionens historia (the mission's history).

The base noun mission comes from Latin missio, through French mission, and has been integrated into Swedish with the definite form missionen. The possessive form is created by adding -s to the definite form, yielding missionens. In Swedish orthography this usage parallels other nouns where the possessive is formed with an appended -s after the definite form.

In practice, missionens appears in formal writing, historical accounts, and organizational contexts to refer to the duties, aims, or conduct of a particular mission. It can also serve to connect related terms or clauses, as in missionens befogenheter or missionens resultat.
