fältets

Fältet is a Swedish noun meaning "the field" or, more broadly, "the domain" or "the sphere." The form fältets is the genitive or possessive form of fältet, meaning "the field's" or "of the field." It is used to indicate possession, attribution, or association with the field in both spoken and written Swedish.

Form and grammar: In Swedish, the possessive is typically created by adding the suffix -s to the definite form of a noun. Thus fältet becomes fältets to express ownership or relation. This pattern is common for nouns that denote places, domains, or concrete objects. The possessive fältets is placed before the noun it modifies, as in fältets yta ("the field's surface").

Usage: The genitive form fältets appears across genres, including geography, science, and everyday language. Examples include fältets yta (the field's surface), fältets namn (the field's name), and fältets storlek påverkar resultaten (the field's size affects the results). The construction is analogous to possessive forms in many other Germanic languages and is a standard feature of Swedish grammar.

Etymology: The base noun fält means "field" and is used for physical fields as well as metaphorical domains. The possessive form fältets is formed by adding -s to the definite form, conforming to common Swedish nominal morphology. The word fält has cognates in other Scandinavian languages, reflecting shared Germanic roots.
