A word borrowed from English that means 'begrenzt' (limited) or 'beschränkt' (restricted). It is often used in marketing for products that are available only in a small quantity or for a short time.
Diese Turnschuhe sind eine „limited Edition“ und waren sofort ausverkauft.
These sneakers are a 'limited edition' and sold out immediately.
'Limited' is an English loanword that is used almost exclusively in advertising and marketing language. It is meant to signal exclusivity and a special opportunity.
Die Uhr gibt es nur in einer limitierten Auflage von 100 Stück.
The watch is available only in a limited run of 100 pieces.
As an English loanword, 'limited' is often not declined like a German adjective. For example, you say 'eine limited Edition' (a limited edition), not 'eine limitede Edition'.
Ich habe mir die neue, limited Kollektion des Designers angesehen.
I took a look at the designer's new limited collection.
By far the most common combination is the fixed expression 'limited Edition' (limited edition). It refers to a product that is produced only in a limited quantity.
Sammler suchen oft nach Produkten, die als „limited Edition“ verkauft werden.
Collectors often look for products that are sold as a 'limited edition'.
limited
Begrenzt and limited can both say that a product is available only in a small quantity or for a short time. Begrenzt is the neutral standard German form; limited sounds like an English marketing term and gives the advertising a stronger promotional tone. Begrenzt is suitable for factual information, while limited can fit a product campaign.
Der Laden bewirbt diese Jacke als limited edition und verkauft sie nur kurze Zeit.
The store is advertising this jacket as a limited edition and will sell it for only a short time.
Der Laden bietet diese Jacke nur in begrenzter Stückzahl an.
The store is offering this jacket only in limited quantities.
