Beträgen

Beträgen is the dative plural form of the German noun Betrag, which means amount or sum. It is used in financial, legal, and administrative contexts to refer to multiple monetary quantities. The base form for the nominative and accusative plural is Beträge, while the genitive plural is der Beträge.

Grammatical notes: Betrag is masculine. Nominative/accusative plural: Beträge; genitive plural: der Beträge; dative plural: den Beträgen. In everyday prose, Beträgen appears most often in phrases with a preposition that requires the dative, such as mit den Beträgen (with the amounts) or von den Beträgen (from the amounts).

Examples:

- Die Beträge belaufen sich auf 12.500 Euro.

- Die Beträge der einzelnen Posten addieren sich zu 12.500 Euro.

- Mit den Beträgen wird die Abrechnung fortgesetzt.

Usage and context: Beträgen typically refers to monetary sums in currency, and it is common in invoices, contracts, settlements, and financial reports. When discussing a single amount, the singular form Betrag is used; for several amounts, Beträge or den Beträgen appear depending on the grammatical role in the sentence.

Translations and equivalents: In English, Beträge is translated as "amounts" or "sums." The word appears primarily in formal or technical German, and its correct inflection (Beträge, der Beträge, den Beträgen) is important for proper syntax in different cases.
