Truslerne

Truslerne is a Danish–Norwegian term meaning “the threats.” It functions as the definite plural form of the noun trussel (threat) in Danish, and is used to refer to a specific set of threats that have been identified in a given context. The term is commonly found in journalism, political discourse, and security analyses to discuss risks facing individuals, organizations, or public institutions. It is not a proper noun by itself unless used as a title or the name of a specific work, group, or initiative.

Grammatical notes show that in Danish the indefinite plural is trusler, while the definite plural is truslerne, formed by adding the -ne suffix. In Norwegian bokmål, the corresponding definite plural is typically truslene. The choice of form reflects the language context, and the definite plural is used when the threats are being referred to as a known set within the discourse, such as in reports, policy documents, or official statements.

Usage examples in media and policy often frame truslerne in terms of security and risk management, assessing sources of danger, potential impact, and any necessary countermeasures. While the term is common, it is generic rather than tied to a particular organization or event unless the context specifies one. Related concepts include threat, risk, and security policy.
