prosjektets

Prosjektets is the definite possessive form of the Norwegian noun prosjekt, used to indicate something belonging to or related to a specific project. It forms part of the possessive construction in Norwegian, so it typically appears before another noun in a phrase, as in prosjektets mål (the project’s goals) or prosjektets omfang (the project’s scope). In Norwegian Bokmål, prosjekt is a neuter noun (et prosjekt), with the definite form prosjektet, and adding the suffix -s yields prosjektets.

The word prosjekt itself is borrowed into Norwegian from a European source, with origins linked to the French word projet or the English project, ultimately tracing back to Latin proiectus/proiectus. The adoption of projekt/prosjekt occurred in the modern era as administrative and technical vocabulary expanded, and it has become a common element in business, engineering, and public administration terminology in Norwegian.

Usage notes: prosjektets is used in formal and semi-formal Norwegian to express possession relative to a single, specified project. It is most common when the possessor is unambiguous within the sentence. When referring to multiple projects, the plural possessive forms or alternative constructions may be used, depending on dialect and style. Overall, prosjektets serves as a standard grammatical tool for linking a project to its attributes, outcomes, or resources in Norwegian texts.
