bröstens

Bröstens is a Swedish possessive form used to indicate something belonging to the breasts. It functions as the possessive of the definite plural noun brösten, which means “the breasts.” The form bröstens translates to “the breasts’” in English and is used in contexts where multiple breasts are specifically being referred to as owners of something, for example bröstens hud (the breasts’ skin) or bröstens färg (the breasts’ color).

In Swedish grammar, the possessive suffix -s attaches to the definite plural form of a noun to express ownership or association. Thus bröstet (the breast) becomes bröstets (the breast’s), and brösten (the breasts) becomes bröstens (the breasts’). This construction is common in medical, anatomical, and descriptive writing when a feature is attributed to the breasts as a unit.

Anatomically, the term bröst covers the upper chest region and, in humans, refers especially to the breasts in females, which contain mammary glands capable of producing milk. The breast tissue includes glandular tissue, ducts, adipose tissue, and connective tissue, situated above the pectoral muscles and beneath the skin. The nipple and areola are central features, and vascular and nerve supply support sensory function and lactation.

Note: Bröstens is primarily a grammatical form and appears in phrases where ownership by the breasts is being described, particularly in formal or technical Swedish.
