produsentens

Produsentens is a possessive determiner used in Norwegian to indicate something belonging to a producer. It is formed by attaching the possessive suffix -ens to the definite form of the noun produsent, producing the common construction the producer's. This form is placed before the noun it modifies, as in produsentens avtale (the producer's agreement) or produsentens rettigheter (the producer's rights).

The form agrees with number and is complemented by a plural possessive when referring to multiple producers: produsentenes means the producers' (as in produsentenes krav, the producers' claims). In everyday and formal language, this construction is widely used to specify ownership, responsibility, or association with a producer.

Linguistic context and variations: Norwegian uses this possessive pattern with the definite form and the suffix -ens. Equivalents exist in related Scandinavian languages, such as Danish producentens and Swedish producentens, which employ a similar possessive construction for ownership by a producer.

Usage considerations: The possessive construction helps clearly attribute ownership or affiliation in contracts, agreements, descriptions, and commentary related to production, media, manufacturing, and creative industries. It is common in written Norwegian and appears across formal and informal registers.

Summary: Produsentens is the standard Norwegian possessive form meaning “the producer’s,” used to indicate ownership or association by a single producer. Its plural form is produsentenes for phrases like “the producers’ …,” with parallels in Danish and Swedish.
