Questions & Answers about Deze kamer is groot genoeg voor de bank.
Why does genoeg come after groot in this sentence?
When genoeg (enough) modifies an adjective like groot (large), it always goes after the adjective. This matches English perfectly: we say 'large enough', not 'enough large', and in Dutch it is groot genoeg, never genoeg groot.
If the sentence were about having 'enough rooms', would genoeg still go after the word it modifies?
No. While genoeg must go after adjectives (like groot genoeg), when it modifies a noun, it usually goes before the noun (like genoeg kamers for 'enough rooms').
I thought bank meant a place to keep money. Why does it mean 'couch' here?
The Dutch word bank can mean both a financial bank and a couch or sofa. You have to rely on context: since we are talking about fitting something into a room (deze kamer), 'couch' is the only meaning that makes sense.
Why do we use deze instead of dit for 'this room'?
Because kamer is a de-word (de kamer). When you want to say 'this' with a de-word, you must use deze. You only use dit with het-words (like dit raam for 'this window').
