Samarbetets

Samarbetets is the genitive form of the Swedish noun samarbete, which means collaboration or cooperation. The word samarbete is a compound of sam- (together) and arbete (work), and it denotes joint activity aimed at a shared goal. The possessive form samarbetets is used to indicate that something belongs to or is associated with the collaboration, equivalent to the English "the collaboration's" or "of the collaboration."

Usage of samarbetets occurs in formal and written Swedish to introduce a noun phrase that specifies a relation to the collaboration. Examples include samarbetets syfte (the purpose of the collaboration), samarbetets mål (the goals of the collaboration), and samarbetets historia (the history of the collaboration). In everyday language, speakers may prefer alternatives such as av samarbetet (of the collaboration) or the rephrasing syftet med samarbetet (the purpose of the collaboration) to avoid the possessive form.

Style and notes: samarbetets represents the singular definite genitive form of samarbete. Swedish generally marks possession with the -s suffix on the noun, and this particular form is most common in written and official contexts. It functions as a determiner within noun phrases and helps specify relationship and ownership related to the collaboration.

Related terms include samarbete (cooperation), samarbeta (to cooperate), and samarbeten (collaborations). These forms are part of a common family of words used to describe cooperative activity in Swedish.
