dokumentationens

Dokumentationens is the genitive form of the definite Swedish noun dokumentationen, meaning the documentation. In Swedish, possessive relationships are typically expressed by adding -s to the definite form of a noun. Thus, the base form dokumentation becomes dokumentationen in the definite sense, and the possessive form is dokumentationens, meaning “the documentation’s” or “of the documentation.” The construction is common in official, technical, and academic writing.

Usage is to indicate possession, attribution, or association with the documentation. Examples include the phrases innehållet i dokumentationen (the contents of the documentation), dokumentationens syfte (the purpose of the documentation), and dokumentationens uppdateringar (the documentation’s updates). When a writer prefers to avoid possessive phrases, a rephrasing such as innehållet i dokumentationen (the contents of the documentation) may be used.

For plural forms, the corresponding possessive of definite plural is dokumentationernas (the documentation’s, of the documents). The base plural definite is dokumentationerna (the documentations). The genitive form provides a concise way to express ownership or association within a noun phrase.

Etymology and notes: dokumentation is a Swedish loanword from French documentation, itself from Latin documentum meaning a proof or document. The -en ending marks the definite form, while -s marks the genitive. In practice, the possessive konstruktions with -s are widely used, though stylistic guidelines sometimes favor rephrasing to avoid dense possessives in long phrases.
