Walmart
The English phrase Walmart is translated into German as Walmart.
Did you know?
- When discussing the brand's failed entry into the German market, historians often use the term Walmart-Debakel to describe the cultural clash between American retail and German consumer habits.
- Because the stores are gone, a German speaker using the word Walmart today is likely discussing history, economics or the United States rather than a place to buy groceries.
- Because Walmart is a proper name, it remains unchanged in German, but Germans often add the definite article die before it when speaking about the company.
