code
A set of rules that defines the traditional behaviors, manners, and fencing ceremonial practices in student fraternities.
Als neues Mitglied der Studentenverbindung musste er zuerst den Comment auswendig lernen.
As a new member of the student fraternity, he first had to memorize the code.
Careful, 'der Comment' (code) is a false friend! It refers to a set of rules in student fraternities and not, like the English word 'comment', to a note or remark.
Jedes neue Mitglied muss den Comment der Verbindung lernen.
Every new member has to learn the fraternity's code.
This word is used almost exclusively in the context of traditional student fraternities. In general usage, it is very rare.
Er wurde bestraft, weil er gegen den Comment verstoßen hatte.
He was punished because he had violated the code.
Typical verbs with 'Comment' (code) are 'den Comment lernen' (to learn the code), 'sich an den Comment halten' (to follow the code), or 'gegen den Comment verstoßen' (to violate the code).
Alle Mitglieder müssen sich an den Comment halten.
All members have to follow the code.
statutes / bylaws
In a student fraternity, the Satzung governs its organization and operation. The Comment, by contrast, concerns traditional behavior, manners, and fencing ceremonies. Satzung is therefore the appropriate term for the fraternity’s structure, while Comment refers to its particular traditions.
Der Comment bestimmt, welche traditionellen Umgangsformen in der Studentenverbindung gelten.
The Comment determines which traditional forms of conduct apply in the student fraternity.
Die Satzung bestimmt, wie die Studentenverbindung ihren Vorstand wählt.
The Satzung determines how the student fraternity elects its board.
