medlemens

Medlemens is the genitive form of the Swedish noun medlem, meaning a member of an organization, association, or group. It marks possession or association with a single member, as in medlemmens rättigheter (the member’s rights) or medlemmens skyldigheter (the member’s obligations). The base word medlem is an en-ord; its definite form is medlemmen, and the genitive singular is medlemmens. For the plural possessive, the form is medlemmarnas (the members’). The genitive is commonly used in formal or written Swedish, especially in organizational or legal contexts.

Usage and notes:

- Medlemens is used to refer to something belonging to or associated with one member within a defined group, such as a specific person in a club or union.

- The genitive can often be replaced by an av-construction (e.g., rättigheter av medlem) in casual speech, but medlemmens is standard in official wording.

- In plural references, you would use medlemmarnas to indicate belonging to all members of the group.

Examples:

- Medlemmens rättigheter följer av stadgarna. (The member’s rights follow from the statutes.)

- Styrelsen ska granska varje medlems ansökningar. (The board will review each member’s applications.)

- Medlemmarnas åsikter har stor betydelse för beslutet. (The members’ opinions are important for the decision.)

Summary:

Medlemens is the standard Swedish genitive form for one member, used to express possession or association in formal written language. The corresponding plural form is medlemmarnas.
