beregningens

Beregningens is the genitive (possessive) form of the Scandinavian noun beregning, meaning "calculation" or "computation." It appears mainly in Danish and Norwegian Bokmål to indicate possession or association, roughly translating to "the calculation's" or "of the calculation" in English.

Grammatical role and formation: beregning is the base noun; its definite form is beregningen ("the calculation"). The genitive is formed by adding an -s to denote possession, producing beregningens. As a genitive clitic it attaches to the end of the noun and is used in noun phrases to link entities (for example: beregningens resultat — the calculation's result).

Usage and contexts: beregningens occurs widely in technical, scientific, financial and legal texts where explicit reference to the provenance, scope or limitations of a computation is required (for example: beregningens forutsetninger, beregningens usikkerhet). It also appears in everyday language when describing outcomes tied to specific computations.

Etymology and cognates: beregning derives from the verb beregne (to calculate), historically formed from a prefix be- and regne (to reckon). Cognates include German Berechnung and English reckoning. Because beregningens is a grammatical form rather than an independent lexical item, its use depends on syntactic context rather than standalone meaning.
