øvningens

övningens is the possessive form of the Swedish noun övning, meaning exercise or drill. It functions to indicate that something belongs to or relates to a specific exercise. The form is created by taking the definite singular noun övningen (the exercise) and adding the possessive suffix -s, yielding övningens (the exercise's). It can also attach to the definite plural form övningarna to form övningarnas (the exercises').

In use, övningens appears in phrases that express a relationship to a particular exercise, such as the purpose, result, or rules of that exercise. Common examples include övningens syfte (the purpose of the exercise), övningens resultat (the result of the exercise), and övningens regler (the rules of the exercise). Note that the possessive suffix is typically attached to a definite noun; to refer to the purpose of an indefinite exercise, Swedish speakers would more likely use a construction like syftet med en övning (the purpose of an exercise).

Phonology and grammar: the suffix -s is a standard Swedish possessive marker, generally pronounced as a simple [s] sound. The form øvningens is used with singular and plural definite nouns as appropriate, while the corresponding indefinite or non-definite constructions use different syntax (e.g., med en övning, eller syftet med en övning).

See also: related forms include övningen (the exercise) and övningar (exercises). In possessive phrases, övningens refers to a single, definite exercise.
