gGmbH = gemeinnützige Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung = limited liability company serving the public benefit
God damn the German language sure uses the entire alphabet in every word......How do they fit names onto their street signs???
the longest street name in Germany is "Bischöflich-Geistlicher-Rat-Josef-Zinnbauer-Straße", which I don't think is that different from something like "St Martin-in-the-Fields Church Path" in the UK.
(I'm purposefully ignoring Wales, because they're just fucking with us at this point)
Well thank goodness they have that ß character to help keep their street names so efficient.
Are the Welsh fucking anything other than their flock?
Do you have a problem with the language that's half l and y?
The can keep their l's and y's, my issue is that I don't trust their language after their longest town name was arbitrarily made so to reap in unsuspecting tourists
wat
Replace ss with ß.
Is the first g the "for public benefit" part? Because isn't GmbH an evil company?
Also, isn't the norm that if you're doing good, you don't name the leader a CEO but a Director or something?
yes, gemeinnützig = serving the public benefit (literally approximately: gemein = common, nützig = useful, i.e. useful to the common good)
GmbH is just the (almost literal) translation of LLC.
When I was a kid I always pictured a goomba when I saw GmbH.
Thats a good association.
And we're on Lemmy, so any LLC is inherently evil. /s
If your goal is profit, then yes.
