But it doesn't mention if there are definite forms. SAOB (letter P edited in 1954) describes presens as an adjective, with the noun presensform as one of the compounds. In the non-linguistic and dated meaning (attendance, being present), SAOB says common/feminine gender (en presens) and definite form is presensen. === References === “presens”, in Svenska Akademiens ordlista [Wordlist of the Swedish Academy] (in Swedish) “presens”, in Svenska Akademiens ordbok [Dictionary of the Swedish Academy] (in Swedish) === Anagrams === pressen
