Vertrages

Vertrages is the genitive singular form of the German noun Vertrag. A Vertrag denotes a legally binding agreement between two or more parties, or a formal arrangement that creates rights and duties. In use, Vertrages indicates possession or relation to the contract, as in the phrase die Pflichten des Vertrages (the obligations of the contract).

Grammatical note: Vertrag is a masculine noun. Its standard forms include der Vertrag (nominative), des Vertrages (genitive), dem Vertrag (dative), den Vertrag (accusative). The plural is die Verträge, with der Verträge as the plural genitive form. Vertraes is not a separate plural; Vertrages specifically marks the genitive singular of Vertrag, while Verträge marks plural.

Usage: Vertrages appears primarily in formal or legal writing. It commonly surfaces in phrases such as Inhalte des Vertrages, Beendigung des Vertrages, or Auslegung des Vertrages. In everyday language, speakers typically use the plural Verträge when referring to multiple contracts, or rephrase with possessives like der Vertrag or des Vertrags.

Notes: The term Vertrages should not be confused with Verträge, the standard plural form for multiple contracts, or with related legal terms such as Vertragsrecht (contract law) or Vertragsbedingungen (contract terms). In compound nouns derived from Vertrag, the form Vertrags- often appears as a prefix, for example Vertragsunterlagen (contract documents) or Vertragsabschluss (conclusion of a contract).
