dörrars

Dörrars is a Swedish grammatical form. It represents the genitive plural of the noun dörrar, which means doors. In standard Swedish, the genitive is formed by adding the suffix -s to the plural form when the noun is indefinite, giving dörrars as the possessive of “doors.” When referring to specific doors, the definite plural possessive is dörrarnas.

Dörrars is used to attribute characteristics or ownership to doors in general. For example, dörrars färg means the color of doors (in an indefinite sense), while dörrarnas färg means the color of the doors (a definite set of doors). The form appears in architectural descriptions, product specifications, and other contexts where doors are discussed.

Etymology traces dörrar to Old Norse dyrr, with further connections to Proto-Germanic roots related to the English word “door.” The genitive suffix -s is a common feature in Swedish, used to express possession or association across many nouns, with dörrars serving as the indefinite plural possessive in this case.

In summary, dörrars is a standard Swedish genitive plural form used to denote “of doors” or “the doors’” in contexts where the reference is not definite, while dörrarnas serves the definite plural possessive.
