das Team, -s
team
Eine Gruppe von Menschen, die zusammenarbeitet, um ein gemeinsames Ziel zu erreichen.
The German word "Team" is a noun borrowed from English, meaning "group of people working together" or simply "team". Unlike typical German compound words, it consists of the single English loanword "Team", which refers to a collective working cooperatively towards a common goal.
Similar words in German include:
- Mannschaft (traditionally for sports teams),
- Gruppe (group),
- Equipe (less common, also borrowed from French).
Differences:
- Team is often used in business, sports, or informal contexts emphasizing collaboration.
- Mannschaft is mainly used for sports teams and has a stronger association with athletic groups.
- Gruppe is more general, implying any collection of people, not necessarily working together closely.
