modellens

Modellens is the possessive form of the Swedish noun modell, meaning “the model’s.” It is used to indicate ownership or association in noun phrases and typically precedes another noun, for example, modellens färg (the model’s color) or modellens konstruktion (the model’s design).

Formation and usage are straightforward in Swedish. The possessive suffix -s is attached to the noun, yielding modellens for the singular form. It can be used with both definite and indefinite contexts, and it often appears in compounds that describe attributes or components related to a model. In phrases such as modellens detaljer or modellens dimensioner, the ownership or attribution conveyed by the model is the primary meaning.

In contrast to English, Swedish normally uses a single possessive marker across noun phrases, with the relationship between the model and the possessed noun made clear by order rather than separate punctuation. The form modellens is common in technical writing, design descriptions, art, architecture, and discussions of scale models or simulations.

Etymology and related forms: the suffix -s is a standard possessive marker in Swedish, tracing back to possessive constructions in historical forms of the language. The base noun is modell (model); other related forms include plural possessives such as modellernas (the models’), used when referring to multiple models.
