kalenderens

Kalenderens is the possessive form of the definite noun kalenderen, used in Norwegian and Danish to indicate that something belongs to or is associated with a calendar. The base word kalender means calendar, and the definite form kalenderen is used when referring to “the calendar.” The possessive is formed by adding the suffix -s to the definite form, yielding kalenderens. This construction does not require an apostrophe, as is common in these languages.

Examples include kalenderens datoer (the calendar’s dates), kalenderens måneder (the calendar’s months), and kalenderens layout (the calendar’s layout). In phrases like these, kalenderens functions as a determiner that marks possession within a noun phrase.

Cross-linguistic note: In Swedish, the analogous possessive is kalenderns (kalendern is “the calendar”; kalenderns is “the calendar’s”). All forms ultimately derive from the same Latin root calendarium, transmitted through the Nordic and Germanic linguistic lineages.

Usage context: Kalenderens appears primarily in written texts dealing with calendars, planning, scheduling, and related descriptions. It is not a proper noun and is used as a standard grammatical inflection to express possession.
