byggnadens

byggnadens is a Swedish grammatical form used to indicate possession or association with a specific building. It functions as the possessive of the definite noun byggnaden (the building). In Swedish, possessive forms are created by adding the suffix -s to the definite form of a noun, so byggnaden becomes byggnadens, meaning the building's or of the building. The corresponding plural possessive is byggnadernas (the buildings').

The base noun is byggnad (building); its other forms include the indefinite byggnad, the definite byggnaden, and the plural byggnader. The possessive byggnadens typically appears in noun phrases that describe features or attributes of a particular building.

Usage examples include byggnadens fasad (the building's façade), byggnadens ventilation (the building's ventilation), or byggnadens historia (the building's history). The form is common in architectural, planning, legal, and real estate texts, where precise attribution to a specific structure is required.

Notes: as a grammatical form, byggnadens does not carry independent meaning beyond possession; it is part of the noun phrase structure. For multiple buildings, the possessive becomes byggnadernas (the buildings'). The English translation is generally "the building's" or "of the building."
