Subject: combination gen. Доброе утро, друзья!Вот какой детский у меня вопрос, извините уж: Если две фирмы из разных стран объединили свои усилия так, что у них теперь новое общее название, но каждая продолжает работать в своей стране и на внутреннем рынке имеет свой вариант названия, при этом этот альянс они называют словом combination - то это можно называть объединением? Спасибо! |

| совместное предприятие? |
|
это в составе такой формулировки: ... is the result of the combination between XX and X... я пока в рабочем варианте пишу: результат союза двух фирм. насчет совместного предприятия не уверена... |
|
результат этого союза они характеризуют как an international law firm which consists of independent and autonomous entities providing services around the world |

| The terms 'to merge' and 'merger' tend to be used in preference to 'to combine' and 'combination' when referring to two or more companies becoming one. The entity that's created by the merger is then referred to as the 'merged company'. |

johnstephenson, thank you very much for eoyr comments! My sentence in question is a fragment of an information letter written by a Canadian executive to the company's clients and staff. I suppose that "the combination" is used in this context in a general sense not as an economic term (like a merger) so I want to use a russian equivalent without a specific economic connotation to avoid any stating of the strict legal form of their relationship. |

naiva: Don't worry about it, I understood you perfectly! Yes, 'combine'/'combination' is used in more general expressions, including ones relating to mergers, such as 'the two companies are to combine their resources' -- but the actual process of companies joining together is nearly always called a 'merger'. Don't ask me why, it just is! |

Thank you again, johnstephenson! I will take your remark into consideration. |
