German term

zutreffend

German to English Marketing Marketing customer satisfaction survey
This company's customer satisfaction survey asks: "Wie sehr treffen die folgenden Eigenschaften auf (Namen der Firma) zu? There are five possible responses: "trifft sehr zu", "trifft zu", "trifft halbwegs zu", "trifft kaum zu" und "trifft überhaupt nicht zu". Variations on "applicable" don't seem familiar or very snappy for that matter. Maybe "descriptive"? Does anyone know the "generally accepted" way to phrase this?

Francis Lee (X) Jul 24, 2007:
Both Birgit and Claire have potentially sound options, but I think it depends on the context. What kind of Eigenschaften exactly? Example?
