Etwas, das für alle Beteiligten fair und ohne Bevorzugung ist.
The German word "gerecht" is an adjective meaning "just," "fair," or "equitable".
- It stems from the word "Recht" which means "law," "right," or "justice".
- "gerecht" describes actions, decisions, or conditions that conform to justice or fairness.
Similar words:
- fair (fair, impartial)
- billig (reasonable, fair in price but can mean "cheap")
- angemessen (appropriate, reasonable)
Difference:
While gerecht emphasizes moral or legal justice, fair is more about unbiased or impartial behavior, billig generally refers to something being reasonably priced rather than ethical fairness, and angemessen focuses on suitability rather than justice.
