kollisionens

Kollisionens is the definite possessive form of the noun kollision in several Scandinavian languages, meaning “the collision’s” or “of the collision.” It is used to indicate possession or association with the event named by kollision. The base noun kollision denotes the event of two or more bodies coming into contact with impact. The form kollisionens arises from the definite noun form (such as kollisionen) combined with a possessive suffix, a common pattern in Scandinavian grammar.

In Swedish, the indefinite form is en kollision; the definite singular is kollisionen. Attaching the possessive suffix yields kollisionens, as in kollisionens konsekvenser (“the collision’s consequences”). Danish and Norwegian (Bokmål) employ analogous constructions, producing phrases that translate to “the collision’s” in English. The term is a grammatical rather than conceptual designation and appears in a wide range of texts that discuss collisions, including scientific descriptions, incident analyses, and journalism.

Usage notes: kollisionens functions as a possessive determiner within a noun phrase. Its exact pronunciation and spelling can vary with regional usage and orthographic standards, but the meaning remains the same: it attributes or relates something to a specific collision.
