overall result
The final result that comes from summarizing or adding together all individual parts, partial results, or factors.
Das Gesamtergebnis der Wahl wird erst morgen früh bekannt gegeben.
The overall result of the election will not be announced until tomorrow morning.
This word is a compound of 'gesamt' (total, overall) and 'Ergebnis' (result). So it literally means the 'gesamte Ergebnis' (overall result) or the 'Resultat aus allen Teilen' (result from all parts).
Für das Gesamtergebnis müssen wir die Resultate aller Gruppen zusammenzählen.
For the overall result, we have to add up the results of all the groups.
'Gesamtergebnis' (overall result) is often used with verbs that describe presenting or determining a final result. Typical phrases are 'das Gesamtergebnis bekannt geben' (to announce the overall result), 'ermitteln' (to determine), or 'vorlegen' (to present).
Die Jury wird das Gesamtergebnis des Wettbewerbs um 18 Uhr bekannt geben.
The jury will announce the overall result of the competition at 6 p.m.
The word is often used in contexts where individual parts are combined into a whole. These include elections, sports competitions, company balance sheets, or scientific studies.
Im Gesamtergebnis hat unsere Mannschaft den zweiten Platz erreicht.
In the overall result, our team achieved second place.
final result
Endergebnis and Gesamtergebnis both refer to the result at the end of an evaluation. Gesamtergebnis explicitly emphasizes that several individual or partial results have been combined; Endergebnis neutrally refers to the final state. Use Gesamtergebnis for a total made up of separate parts, and otherwise usually use Endergebnis.
Das Gesamtergebnis entstand aus den Punkten aller drei Runden.
The overall result was calculated from the points from all three rounds.
Nach der letzten Runde stand das Endergebnis des Wettbewerbs fest.
After the final round, the competition's final result was clear.
