ekspertenes

Ekspertenes is the genitive plural form of the Norwegian noun ekspert, meaning the experts. In Norwegian, the base plural is eksperter (experts), the definite plural is ekspertene (the experts), and the genitive plural, ekspertenes, indicates possession by that group. The form is used to attribute something to or to be associated with a group of experts.

The usage of ekspertenes appears in formal writing, journalism, and academic or policy contexts. It marks that advice, statements, or knowledge originate from or are endorsed by a collective of experts rather than a single individual. For example, ekspertenes råd means the experts’ advice, and ekspertenes vurdering means the experts’ assessment. This possessive construction helps distinguish expertise as a collective authority.

Phonology and morphology for the word follow standard Norwegian patterns for possessive forms of plurals. The corresponding possessive in related Scandinavian languages varies (for instance, eksperternes in Danish and experternas in Swedish), reflecting regional orthography and grammar.
