geräts

Geräts is the genitive singular form of the German noun Gerät, which means a device, piece of equipment, or gadget. As a grammatical form, Geräts does not function as an independent lexical item with a separate meaning; it exists to indicate possession or association with a device within a sentence.

In practical use, Geräts appears in phrases such as die Bedienungsanleitung des Geräts (the user manual of the device) or die Funktionen des Geräts (the functions of the device). The genitive singular is formed by adding an -s to the noun: des Geräts. By contrast, the plural Geräte denotes multiple devices, with the genitive plural der Geräte.

The form Geräts is common in formal writing and technical contexts where precise ownership or specification of a single device is important. In everyday language, speakers typically rely on Gerät with appropriate case endings rather than treating Geräts as a standalone item.

Etymology and related terms: Gerät derives from Old High German gerât, related to other Germanic words for equipment or tools. Related terms in German include Gerätschaft (equipment or implement), Ausrüstung (equipment), and Werkzeug (tool).
