produktets

Produktets is the genitive or possessive form of the Danish and Norwegian noun produkt, meaning "the product." It denotes something that belongs to or is associated with a specific product. In Danish and Norwegian, possessive constructions are commonly formed by attaching -s to the end of the definite form of the noun, yielding produktets, which means "the product's." For example: produktets holdbarhed translates to "the product's shelf life." This form is widely used in product labeling, technical documentation, marketing copy, and regulatory texts. When a more general sense of possession or association is intended, Danish also uses af produktet (of the product).

Morphology: produkt is a neuter gender noun (et produkt). The indefinite singular is et produkt; the definite singular is produktet; the possessive is produktets.

Etymology and usage: produkt derives from the French produit (and ultimately from Latin productus), entering Danish and Norwegian via historical loan paths. The -et suffix marks the definite singular, and the subsequent -s marks the genitive in many modern Nordic varieties, producing produktets for "the product's."

Cross-linguistic notes: Similar possessive forms appear in other Scandinavian languages, including Swedish and Norwegian, where the definite form produktet or produkten is followed by -s to form produktets in possessive contexts. The construction is common in contexts dealing with goods, consumer products, packaging, and regulatory language.
