regionens

Regionens is the definite possessive form of the Swedish noun region. It translates to "the region's" in English and is used to indicate that something belongs to or is associated with a particular region. The form is created by adding the possessive suffix -s to the definite singular form regionen, yielding regionens.

In usage, regionens appears in sentences to attribute ownership or association to a specific region. Examples include regionens huvudstad (the region's capital) and regionens invånare (the region's inhabitants). The suffix -s attaches directly to the definite form, so no apostrophe is used, as is customary in Swedish.

For plural references, the corresponding form is regionernas, for example regionernas kultur (the regions' culture) or regionernas planer (the regions' plans). The progression follows the pattern: regionen (the region) → regionens (the region's) for singular, and regionerna (the regions) → regionernas (the regions') for plural.

Regionens is commonly found in official, administrative, and media language when describing resources, governance, demographics, and other attributes tied to a specific region. Its usage helps clarify which region is being referred to and distinguishes possessive relationships from other forms of description.
