betriebsgewöhnliche

Betriebsgewöhnliche is a German adjective used to describe something that is typical, ordinary, or customary within the operation of a business. It refers to conditions, activities, risks, or standards that arise in the normal course of business rather than in exceptional circumstances. The precise meaning varies by context and legal framework, but the core concept is ordinary, day-to-day operation.

It is widely used in legal, insurance, tax, and economic language to distinguish routine aspects from unusual events. Phrases such as betriebsgewöhnliche Tätigkeit and betrieb sgewöhnliche Sorgfalt exemplify its usage: the former describes the ordinary course of business, while the latter denotes the standard of care expected in daily operations. In insurance contexts, it can refer to risks inherent to normal business activity.

Originating from Betrieb (operation, business) and gewöhnlich (usual), betriebsgewöhnliche is an attributive adjective that agrees with the noun it modifies. The form appears in various fixed phrases and may be inflected differently depending on gender, number, and case.

Because the term is used across different legal and professional cultures, its exact scope is not fixed. Users should consult jurisdiction-specific sources for precise definitions and examples.
