udfaldets

Udfaldet is a Danish noun meaning "outcome" or "result," referring to the consequence of a process, decision, event, or set of circumstances. The indefinite form is et udfald; the definite singular is udfaldet, and the genitive form is udfaldets (the outcome's). The term is used across fields such as statistics, law, economics, and everyday speech.

As a neuter noun, udfald follows standard Danish inflection. It commonly appears with prepositional phrases: udfaldet af noget (the outcome of something). Typical collocations include udfaldet af en undersøgelse (the outcome of a study), udfaldets konsekvenser (the consequences of the outcome), and andre konsekvenser af et udfald. The word can indicate end results in analyses, trials, or negotiations.

Examples:

- Udfaldet af undersøgelsen overraskede eksperterne.

- Udfaldets konsekvenser kræver videre overvejelse.

- Et udfald af konflikten blev afgjort ved forhandling.

Etymology: The term is formed from ud- (out) and fald (fall), conveying a sense of what falls out as a result of a process. In use, udfald functions as a general label for what emerges rather than the process itself, making it a common term in reporting and interpretation of outcomes.
