brændstoffets

Brændstoffets is the possessive form of the Danish noun brændstof, meaning the fuel. It is used to indicate something that belongs to or relates to a particular fuel, as in brændstoffets pris (the price of the fuel) or brændstoffets egenskaber (the properties of the fuel).

Etymology and grammar: Brændstof is a compound of brænde or brænde, meaning to burn, and stof, meaning substance. The definite singular form is brændstoffet, and the possessive (genitive) form is brændstoffets, formed by appending -s to the definite form. In Danish, possessive constructions can also be expressed with af + noun phrases, but the -s possessive is common for direct attribution, including in technical and scientific texts.

Usage: Brændstoffets form and properties are frequently discussed in contexts such as energy, chemistry, and transportation. Examples include brændstoffets energiindhold (the fuel’s energy content), brændstoffets pris (the fuel’s price), and brændstoffets miljøpåvirkning (the fuel’s environmental impact). The form is used for singular, definite refers to a specific fuel, and its plural possessive would be brændstoffernes.

Related terms and distinctions: The base noun brændstof covers the concept of a substance used to produce energy through burning. Related Danish terms include brændstofsforbrug (fuel consumption), energitethed or energitæthed for energy density, and brændstoffets forurening when discussing emissions. While brændstoffet denotes “the fuel,” brændstoffets clarifies possession or association with that fuel.
