Tilhengerens

Tilhengerens is a Danish possessive form meaning “the trailer’s.” It is used to indicate ownership by a tilhenger, the Danish word for a trailer or towable vehicle that is pulled by a car or truck and used for transporting goods, equipment, or people. The possessive tilhengerens is formed by adding the suffix -ens to the noun tilhenger, functioning as a premodifier that accompanies a head noun. For example: tilhengerens dæk (the trailer’s tires), tilhengerens kobling (the trailer’s coupling), tilhengerens tag (the trailer’s roof). This construction is common in standard Danish, particularly in written or formal text.

In usage, tilhengerens is placed before the head noun to establish ownership, as in the examples above. The possessive may also be expressed with other Danish possessive forms or pronouns in less formal speech, depending on regional style or dialect. The term tilhenger itself refers to various towed or towable carrier types, including utility trailers, boat trailers, and camping trailers, and the possessive form is used regardless of the trailer’s specific function.

Notes on variation: Danish allows multiple ways to express possession, but tilhengerens is the typical definite-genitive construction for “the trailer’s.” The form helps clarify ownership in contexts where a trailer is the possessor of another item or feature.
