udbydernes

Udbydernes is a Danish genitive plural form used to indicate possession by providers or suppliers. The base noun udbyder refers to an entity that offers goods or services to customers, such as a telecom operator, energy supplier, online platform, or other service provider. In ordinary text, the plural nominative is udbyderne, while udbydernes marks what belongs to or pertains to the providers in a plural sense.

The term appears frequently in business, regulatory, and policy writing. It is common to see phrases such as udbydernes vilkår (the providers’ terms), udbydernes ansvar (the providers’ responsibilities), or udbydernes forpligtelser (the providers’ obligations). In contexts such as public procurement, industry regulation, or market analysis, udbydernes is used to attribute statements, duties, or conditions to multiple providers rather than to a single one.

Etymology and usage notes: udbyder is formed from the verb udbyde (to offer/provide) with the agent suffix -er. The possessive plural udbydernes functions similarly to other Danish genitive plurals, yielding a phrase that denotes ownership or association with more than one provider. For contrast, the singular possessive is udbyderens (the provider’s).

In summary, udbydernes fulfills a grammatical role in Danish as the genitive plural indicating something that belongs to or is associated with multiple providers, and it is a common construction in discussions about markets, contracts, and regulation involving service providers.
