nivåernas

Nivåernas is a Swedish grammatical form used to express possession relating to more than one level. It is the genitive plural of the definite plural nivåerna (the levels) and is formed by adding -s to nivåerna, yielding nivåernas. This form appears in texts where something pertains to or is defined by the levels in a system or hierarchy.

In usage, nivåernas denotes characteristics, requirements, or boundaries that apply to the collection of levels rather than to a single level. It is common in academic writing, manuals, and organizational documents. For example, one might encounter phrases such as “nivåernas krav,” meaning the requirements of the levels, or “nivåernas gränser,” meaning the boundaries of the levels. The construction helps clarify attribution across a multi-level structure, such as education levels, access controls, or difficulty tiers in software.

It is important to distinguish nivåernas from nivåerna (the levels) and nivåernas possessive form of nivåerna in other contexts. The genitive form is used when referring to a property or relation that belongs to all levels collectively, rather than to a single level.
