Questions & Answers about Wir werden dieses Risiko hinsichtlich der Deckung ausschließen.
Why is it der Deckung when die Deckung is a feminine noun?
Because the preposition hinsichtlich (with regard to) requires the genitive case. For feminine nouns like die Deckung, the genitive definite article is der.
Could I use bezüglich instead of hinsichtlich in this sentence?
Yes, absolutely. Wir werden dieses Risiko bezüglich der Deckung ausschließen means the exact same thing. Both are formal prepositions that take the genitive case and are largely interchangeable in business or legal contexts.
What exactly does Deckung mean in this specific context?
This is classic insurance or contract terminology. While die Deckung can mean physical cover (like taking cover from danger) or sports defense, in finance and law it translates to financial or insurance coverage. The speaker is saying a specific risk won't be covered by the policy.
Can I move the phrase hinsichtlich der Deckung to the beginning of the sentence?
Yes, you can move it to position one for emphasis, which is very common in formal German. It would be: Hinsichtlich der Deckung werden wir dieses Risiko ausschließen. Notice that the conjugated verb werden stays in position two, right after the entire prepositional phrase.
