läkares

Läkares is the genitive form of the Swedish noun läkare, meaning it is used to indicate possession by a doctor or by doctors. It appears in phrases such as läkare’s beslut or läkares ansvar (the doctor’s decision or the doctors’ responsibility). In Swedish, possessive forms are typically created by adding -s to the base noun, so läkares serves as the singular possessive.

The noun läkare refers to a medical professional who is licensed to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness. Typical duties include taking medical histories, performing examinations, ordering tests, prescribing medications, and coordinating patient care. Training generally involves completing a medical degree and postgraduate or specialist training, followed by licensing and ongoing professional development. Doctors work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, and private practices, and many pursue specialty areas such as internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, or psychiatry.

In grammar, läkares denotes the singular possessive. The plural possessive form is läkarnas, used to indicate possession by multiple doctors (e.g., läkarnas beslut). Swedish possessive constructions often rely on this -s suffix rather than an apostrophe, and the exact form can vary with definite or plural context. Overall, läkares serves as a linguistic tool to attribute actions, decisions, or properties to doctors in Swedish text.
