säsongernas

Säsongernas is the genitive plural form of the Swedish noun säsong, used to indicate something belonging to or associated with the seasons. In Swedish, the possessive for plural nouns is typically formed by adding -s to the definite plural form; for säsong the definite plural is säsongerna, yielding säsongernas as the possessive. The term is therefore used when speaking about features, phenomena, or activities that pertain to multiple seasons, rather than to a single season.

Common contexts include climate, agriculture, tourism, sports calendars, and ecological studies, where writers discuss how the four seasons, or seasonal cycles, influence patterns. Examples: säsongernas väderförhållanden (the seasons’ weather conditions), säsongernas påverkan på skördens storlek (the seasons’ influence on harvest size), or text referring to "Under säsongernas övergångar" (during the transitions between the seasons).

The word säsong itself is derived from borrowed roots. Etymologically, säsong is linked to the French saison, via Germanic languages, and has been part of Swedish since the early modern period. The genitive plural form säsongernas is widely used in formal and semi-formal Swedish, especially in written discourse that analyzes patterns across multiple seasons.
