besökens

Besökens is the genitive plural form of the Swedish noun besök, meaning a visit. It marks possession or relation to visits and is used when referring to attributes of multiple visits or things connected to visits. The form appears in formal writing, administrative texts, documentation, and research when the subject concerns several visits.

Declension and form: The base noun is besök. The plural form is besök (visits); the definite plural is besöken (the visits). The genitive plural, used to indicate possession by or relation to the visits, is besökens (the visits’ or of the visits). Swedish normally signals possession with the suffix -s in this plural form, not with an apostrophe. Examples include besökens syfte (the purpose of the visits) and besökens längd (the duration of the visits). The singular possessive would be besökets (the visit’s).

Usage context: Besökens typically appears in contexts discussing multiple visits, such as statistics, planning, or reporting. It can describe characteristics, outcomes, or procedures related to visits, for example in healthcare, social services, education, or corrections settings. The term remains a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept, and its exact meaning is determined by the surrounding noun phrase.

See also: besök, besöka. In Swedish, other related forms include besöket (the visit) and besöken (the visits). The word is common in written Swedish and follows standard genitive and definite plural patterns of the language.
