GG
The English phrase 'gg' is translated into German as GG.
In German, GG is an abbreviation for the English phrase 'good game'. It is used by players to show sportsmanship after a match.
Did you know?
- Despite being an English loanword, GG is often pronounced by Germans using the German alphabet, sounding like 'ge-ge' instead of the English 'gee-gee'.
- The term GG has migrated into German youth slang outside of gaming, often used to describe a situation that has been 'settled' or 'concluded', sometimes negatively.
- In German gaming culture, typing GG alone can sometimes be perceived as sarcastic or passive-aggressive if the match was particularly one-sided.
Examples in context
- GG, das war ein gutes Match.GG, that was a good match.
- GG an alle Spieler.GG to all players.
- Ich schreibe nur kurz GG in den Chat.I am just writing GG in the chat briefly.
