resultatets

Resultatets is the genitive form of the noun resultat in Norwegian and Swedish, used to indicate possession or attribution related to the result. It is a grammatical construction rather than a separate term and appears in formal or analytical writing.

In both languages, resultat means “the result.” The definite singular form is resultatet, and the possessive/genitive is formed by adding -s to the definite form, producing resultatets. This construction functions similarly to the English “the result’s” and is placed before the noun it modifies: resultatets konsekvenser (the consequences of the result), resultatets betydelse (the significance of the result). The form is common in academic, scientific, and policy-oriented texts where precise attribution to a result is important.

Usage notes: resultatets can pair with a range of nouns, both abstract (betydelse, reliabilitet) and concrete (konsekvenser, innhold). While widely used, writers may alternatively express possession with the preposition av (for example, betydelsen av resultatet) in some contexts. The choice between the genitive form and alternative constructions often depends on style, register, and the aim of the sentence. As a standard feature of Norwegian and Swedish syntax, resultatets helps to attribute qualities, effects, or characteristics directly to a specific result.
