mötenas

Mötenas is the genitive plural form of the Swedish noun möte, meaning "the meetings" in the sense of a gathering or event. As a genitive, mötenas expresses possession or association with the meetings, for example in phrases like fülighet? No, better: mötenas syfte (the meetings’ purpose) or mötenas innehåll (the meetings’ content). In practice, it is used to refer to what belongs to or concerns multiple meetings.

Grammatically, the base word is möte (a meeting). Its plural indefinite form is möten, the definite plural form is mötena (the meetings), and the genitive plural form is mötenas (the meetings’). Swedish allows forming possessives by adding -s to the definite plural noun, producing mötenas, which can precede a noun it modifies or appear with a possessive interpretation in a sentence. For example: Vi granskar mötenas resultat. Här finns mötenas protokoll. In each case, the phrase indicates something that is associated with or belonging to the meetings.

Usage and notes: mötenas is primarily a grammatical tool and is used in formal or written Swedish, such as minutes, agendas, reports, or governance contexts. It is not a standalone noun with a meaning different from “the meetings”; rather, it is a form used to express possessive relations to multiple meetings. In ordinary speech, speakers may instead choose to rephrase to avoid the genitive, depending on clarity and style.
