bägarnas

Bägarnas is a Swedish term that functions as the genitive plural form of bägarna, the definite plural of the noun bägare, meaning cup or goblet. In practice, bägarnas is used to indicate something belonging to or associated with the cups, translating roughly to “the cups’” in English.

Morphology and usage. In Swedish, possessive forms for plural nouns are typically created by adding the possessive suffix -s to the definite plural form. Thus bägarna (the cups) yields bägarnas (the cups’). The form may appear as bägarnas or bägarna s in different orthographic traditions, but both convey the same grammatical function: possession by the cups. The construction is common in descriptive or literary contexts, for example when referring to characteristics, materials, or effects connected to the cups themselves, such as bägarnas glans (the cups’ shine) or bägarnas kant (the cups’ edge).

Context and scope. Bägarnas is primarily a grammatical or descriptive form rather than a widely recognized name. It is not known as the title of a major organization, location, or historical era in standard references. If encountered as a proper noun in a text, it would likely be a stylistic or archaic usage rather than a conventional name.
