børsenes

Børsenes is a Norwegian genitive form meaning "of the exchanges" or "the exchanges'." It is formed by adding the possessive -s to the definite plural børsene (from børs, meaning stock exchange or market). The word is used to indicate ownership, association or attribution relating to multiple exchanges.

In usage, børsenes commonly appears in financial, economic and journalistic contexts, for example when discussing price trends, opening hours or regulatory responsibilities shared by several stock exchanges. Typical phrases include "børsenes utvikling" (the exchanges' development) and "børsenes regler" (the exchanges' rules).

Etymology of the base word børs traces to European terms for market or exchange (such as French bourse and German Börse), ultimately from Medieval Latin bursa. Grammatically, Norwegian marks possession with -s attached to the definite form of a noun; for plural nouns this yields forms like børsenes (as opposed to the singular børsens).

Stylistically, writers may choose alternative constructions to avoid ambiguity or repetition, for instance using "til børsene" (to the exchanges) or "fra børsene" (from the exchanges) when possession is not intended. The term appears across Bokmål and Nynorsk texts and is understood in Norway's business reporting and legal language.
