    Hallo zusammen,

    was ist eigentlich der Unterschied zwischen "this" und "that". Wann benutzt man was?

    Vielen Dank für Eure Antworten.

    eric, why did you not leave this in the General Discussion, as this is clearly no translation issue?

    yes.
    alternatively: Howdy, folks (probably more UK than US), or Hi guys.

    Thanks to all.

    @Werner: I posted this in "Englisch gesucht" because I'm looking for the English translation of this phrase. It's a German phrase and I want to know what it means in English. To me it's a translation issue. I don't understand why you think this is not the right forum for a question like this.

    @eric: I don't think there is a single exact equivalent of "Hallo Zusammen". You can safely ignore the comments of Werner and lingo wizard, as they are evidently not pertinent to your question. The way I see it is that, being American, you might well come out with some expression such as "Hi y'all" which would never pass my lips, as I speak very English English. Personally, I might greet a group of friends or acquaintances with "Hello, everyone" or start an email to a group or a letter to a family with "Dear all". All of these things are covered by "Hallo zusammen".

    I suppose it depends on your objective here. If you are seeking merely to understand the phrase, then I think you have enough material in this thread to meet your needs. On the other hand, if you are looking for a general purpose translation, I don't think that one is possible. Finally, if you are looking to translate "Hallo zusammen" in a particular context into its nearest English equivalent, I have to say that, given what is here and your own native knowledge of English, you should surely be able to work something out for yourself.

    Is that enough, or are you still stuck?

    Hi, eric! - When I looked at your query and the context you gave, I had the very same impression as Werner had, especially since you backed your Context/Examples by a link to a thread dealing with 'This' versa 'That', an odd or at least most unusual way . . .

    He (Werner) and I, gave you the benefit of the doubt in such, that we assumed you had made some kind of mistake . . .

    Daddy: "He (Werner) and I, gave you the benefit of the doubt..."
    Seid du und Werner eine Person? Ich sehe sonst nicht, dass Werner "the benefit of the doubt" gibt. Das war eher typisch Schnellschuss-Werner. Soll er sich doch selber dazu äußern wenn er mag. Oder bist du sein Sprecher?
    Der Link stand unter "Quellen" - wer also lesen kann ist klar im Vorteil, vor allem, wenn man sonst so gern nach Kontext fragt... :-)

    Hi, Eric,

    I had no problem understanding the question -- I think this possibly has something to do with the fact that you not only posted the phrase to be translated under the box where the phrase to be translated should come, the source in the box for the source, and the context/example in the box marked "Kontext/Beispiele", but also then suggested "Hello, everyone" as a possible translation...

    Whatever. I like Tanja's "Hi guys".
