First chord is an F major chord in first inversion (F6) with an added ninth (the G), hence why he/she wrote F6/9.
The second one is a normal g minor 7th with the 7th in the base, also called a 2-chord.
Notes are
for the 1st: G A C F
and the 2nd: G Bb D F

oh yeah how stupid of me :) ofc it's F G Bb D

True, but from the bottom F G Bb D
