“Gemeinschaft” means “the social relations between individuals who share a personal connection,” such as a shared community. This word stems from the German “gemein,” meaning “common,” and the noun-forming suffix “-schaft,” denoting the collective individuals of a group. “Gemeinschaft” is often mentioned in conjunction with “Gesellschaft”: The loose translations from German mean “community” and “society,” respectively. More personalized social interactions and the beliefs, roles, and values that stem from them fall under the umbrella of Gemeinschaft, or community, and the more indirect interactions that set formal values and impersonal roles are attributed to Gesellschaft, or society.
