meddelandets

Meddelandets is the genitive form of the neuter noun meddelandet, used in Swedish to indicate possession or relation to the thing described. The base noun meddelandet means a message, communication or notice, and meddelandets positions the phrase as “the message’s” or “of the message.” In practice, the form appears in contexts such as discussing the contents, sender or purpose of a specific message.

Meddelandet and its inflections belong to standard Swedish grammar for neuter nouns. The indefinite singular is meddelande, the definite singular is meddelandet, and the plural is meddelanden. The genitive singular is formed by adding -s to the definite singular, yielding meddelandets, as in meddelandets innehåll (the content of the message) or meddelandets avsändare (the sender of the message). In most everyday texts, possessive relationships are expressed similarly with other neuter nouns, making meddelandets a routine example of the Swedish genitive pattern.

Etymologically, meddelande derives from the verb meddela, meaning to inform or announce, with the suffix -ande forming a noun that denotes the act or result of informing. The term is widely used in both formal and informal registers, including letters, notices, emails, and administrative documents, where precise attribution to a specific message is required.
