Cultural Tip
In German business communication, it is common to present data in a neutral tone. Using ‘positiv’ rather than ‘gut’ sounds more objective. Also, German speakers often prefer the plural verb ‘sind’ with collective nouns like ‘Bewertungen’, even when the overall impression feels singular.
