Learn Dutch: Ik wil de prijzen van deze hotels vergelijken. - I want to compare the prices of these hotels.

There actually isn't one here! Instead, this sentence introduces the verb vergelijken, which means "to compare." You will use this verb often to set up the comparisons you are learning to make with adjectives.

Why is vergelijken placed at the very end of the sentence?

Because of the verb wil (want). In Dutch, when you use a modal verb like willen (to want), kunnen (can), or moeten (must), it takes the second position in the sentence. The main action verb (in this case, vergelijken) then gets pushed all the way to the end.

The word for hotel is het hotel. Why do we say deze hotels instead of dit hotels?

While singular het words use dit (this) and dat (that), all plural words act like de words. Because hotels is plural, we must use deze (these) or die (those), regardless of whether the singular form was a de or het word.

Why does the 's' in prijs (price) change to a 'z' in prijzen?
