agentens

Agentens is the possessive form of the Swedish noun agent, meaning the agent’s. In Swedish, agent refers to a person who acts on behalf of another, such as a representative, broker, or sometimes a secret agent. The definite singular form of agent is agenten, and the possessive is formed by adding the suffix -s to that definite form, yielding agentens. This construction is used to indicate ownership or association, as in agentens uppdrag (the agent’s assignment) or agentens uppgift (the agent’s task).

The word agent itself comes from Latin agens, agentis, meaning “doing,” and was transmitted to Swedish via Old French and other medieval sources. The possessive -s suffix is a common feature in Swedish grammar for marking possession, especially after definite nouns. The combination of a definite noun and a possessive suffix allows expressions like agentens bostad (the agent’s residence) or agentens kundkrets (the agent’s client circle).

In usage, agentens is typical in formal or written Swedish, including legal, business, and narrative contexts. It is distinct from the plural agenter (agents) and from the base form agent; together they form a small set of related terms expressing who or what possesses or is associated with the agent.
