partiklars

Partiklars is the genitive plural form of the Swedish noun partiklar, meaning particles. It is used to indicate possession or association with particles in Swedish phrases, such as partiklars egenskaper (the properties of the particles) or partiklars rörelse (the movement of the particles). It is not a separate scientific term, but a grammatical construction commonly found in scientific writing, education, and everyday language when discussing particles.

Grammatically, partiklar is the plural form. To form the possessive, Swedish adds the suffix -s, yielding partiklars. The form typically precedes the noun it modifies and functions similarly to the English "the particles’." It can occur with definite or indefinite nouns: partiklars egenskaper, eller partiklarna egenskaper (the particles’ properties). The possessive can also appear in longer noun phrases that describe characteristics or behaviors of the particles.

Common usage includes describing physical properties (egenskaper), dynamics (rörelse), interactions (interaktioner), and composition (sammansättning). The construction is straightforward and widely understood in Swedish, especially in contexts dealing with physics, chemistry, or other sciences that discuss particles.

In English, the equivalent possessive is typically expressed as the particles’ or of the particles. The Swedish form partiklars therefore conveys a similar meaning and is a standard feature of Swedish grammar rather than a distinct technical term.
