Sælgernes

sælgernes is the Danish possessive plural form used to indicate something belonging to more than one seller. It translates to “the sellers’” in English and is used in contexts discussing rights, obligations, or assets of a group of sellers.

Morphology and formation: The base noun sælger means “seller.” Its plural is sælgere, the definite plural is sælgerne, and the possessive form is sælgernes. In Danish, the possessive for a plural noun is formed by adding -s to the end of the definite plural, yielding sælgernes.

Usage and contexts: Sælgernes appears in legal, business, and media texts when the subject is the group of sellers as a possessor of something, for example sælgernes rettigheder (the sellers’ rights) or sælgernes marked (the sellers’ market). It functions as a determiner indicating possession and is used with the head noun it modifies.

Examples: De nye regler fokuserer på sælgernes rettigheder. Translation: The new rules focus on the sellers’ rights.

Related terms: Related forms include sælger (singular “seller”) and sælgerne (the sellers). For contrast, the buyers’ possessive is købernes, formed similarly for the buyers. The term is standard in Danish-language texts and follows the language’s rules for possessive plural nouns.
