ansvarigas

Ansvarigas is a Swedish genitive plural form used to indicate possession or association with the plural noun ansvariga, which refers to the persons in charge or those responsible for a task or organisation. In ordinary usage, ansvarig is an adjective meaning “responsible”; ansvariga can function as a noun meaning “the people in charge.” The genitive plural form ansvarigas literally means “of the responsible persons” and appears primarily in formal or legal texts, governance documents, and organisational rules when attributing duties, powers, or accountability to the people in charge.

In practice, ansvarigas is used to denote what belongs to or is the responsibility of the people in charge. It is common in corporate, administrative, and regulatory language. For example, ansvarigas uppgifter omfattar tillsyn och rapportering, meaning the duties of the responsible persons include supervision and reporting. Another example is bolagets ansvarigas befogenheter regleras i bolagsordningen, referring to the powers of the persons in charge being defined in the articles of association.

Usage notes:

- ansvarigas is the genitive plural form corresponding to ansvariga (the responsible persons).

- The singular genitive would be ansvarigs; the noun phrase is rarely needed outside legal or formal contexts.

- Ansvarigas should be distinguished from ansvarig (the person in charge) and from ansvar (responsibility).
