✕Common Mistakes

  • Ich stehe unter der Zukunftsvision der Firma.

    The preposition 'unter' means 'under' and does not convey support. Use 'hinter' for endorsement.

  • Ich stehe hinter die Zukunftsvision der Firma.

    After 'hinter' the noun must be in dative, so 'der Zukunftsvision' is correct.

  • Ich stehe hinter der Zukunftsvision die Firma.

    Because of the dative case, the correct form is 'der Firma', not the nominative 'die Firma'.

↔Alternatives

  • Ich unterstütze die Zukunftsvision des Unternehmens.

    I support the company's future vision.

  • Ich bin für die Zukunftsstrategie der Firma.

    I am in favor of the company's future strategy.

    I endorse the company's long‑term direction.
