das Geschäft vs der Betrieb
How can we differentiate these two? I just typed in das Geschäft for der Betrieb and it marked it wrong, but both have the same English translation.

The easy way would be to change the definition for Geschäft to "shop, business." That would distinguish the two and provide a very common usage of Geschäft.
Posted by pehort 5/10/12 (1 year ago)oh, i see that the alternate definitions were fixed. tra la, nevermind.
Posted by pehort 5/10/12 (1 year ago)Yes, with "Geschäft" it's a difficult one, because it means 'shop' and 'business': 'Geschäft machen' is 'to do business', whereas 'Betrieb' is a business, or a firm, the actual physical thing. But anyhow, as long as the alternatives are in place, it should mean that you can put in whatever you want whilst testing.
