myndighedens
myndighedens is the Danish genitive form of the noun myndighed, meaning authority or government body, and is used to indicate possession or attribute belonging to a specific authority. In standard Danish, possessive forms are typically created by adding -s to the definite form of the noun. For myndighed, the definite singular is myndigheden, and adding -s yields myndighedens, the authority’s, as in myndighedens beslutning (the authority’s decision) or myndighedens regler (the authority’s rules).
The term is common in legal, administrative, and policy contexts, where it helps identify which body exercises
Plural forms follow the same pattern, with myndighedernes used when speaking of multiple authorities (the authorities’).
