försökens

Försökens is the genitive plural form of the Swedish noun försök, meaning the attempts or the experiments. It denotes possession or association by multiple attempts or experiments, and is used when something relates to or belongs to more than one attempt. The word försök has two common senses in Swedish: an act of trying to do something (an attempt) and a controlled test or scientific experiment (an experiment). The genitive plural försökens is formed by adding -ens to the plural form and is written without an apostrophe, unlike English where an apostrophe is often used.

In practice, försökens is typically found in formal or academic contexts. Examples include försökens resultat (the results of the attempts/experiments) and försökens syfte (the purpose of the attempts). By contrast, försöken is the definite plural nominative (the attempts), försökets is the singular possessive (the attempt’s), and försök is the indefinite singular or plural form (an attempt or experiments in general).

Usage note: context determines whether försök refers to a general attempt or a laboratory/experimental context. When expressing possession by multiple attempts or experiments, försökens is the appropriate genitive plural form. This form is common in research reports, analyses, and discussions of multiple trials.
