tvåpersoners

Tvåpersoners is a Swedish grammatical form that functions as a possessive modifier derived from the plural noun tvåpersoner (two persons). In practice, tvåpersoners is used to indicate possession or association with two people and often serves as a pre-nominal modifier in compound nouns describing capacity, ownership, or intended use for two individuals.

The word is formed by combining två (two) and personer (persons) and adding the possessive suffix -s, which marks belonging or relation in Swedish. As a modifier, tvåpersoners often appears before a noun, effectively functioning like an adjective to convey “for two people,” “of two people,” or “belonging to two people.” The construction is common in product descriptions, housing listings, and travel or leisure contexts where capacity matters.

Common contexts and examples include phrases such as tvåpersoners bostad (two-person dwelling), tvåpersoners tält (two-person tent), and tvåpersoners matsats (two-person dining set). While widespread in catalog-style or real estate language, the form can sound formal or technical in casual speech. In everyday writing, many editors prefer phrasing such as för två personer (“for two people”) or närmare beskrivningar av antal personer, depending on the context.

Usage notes: tvåpersoners is most natural when the emphasis is on capacity or ownership related to two individuals. It is less common for describing objects where a more general or neutral phrasing would be clearer. The term exists alongside related forms such as enpersoners (one-person) and flerpersoners (multi-persons), which follow the same possessive pattern.
