Questions & Answers about Ich suche Zimmer sieben, aber hier ist Zimmer acht.
Why does it say Zimmer sieben and not sieben Zimmer?
The order of the words changes the meaning, just like in English! Zimmer sieben means 'room seven' or 'room number seven'. If you reversed it and said sieben Zimmer, you would be talking about 'seven rooms' as a quantity.
Where is the word for 'for' in Ich suche Zimmer sieben?
The German verb suchen means 'to look for' or 'to search for' all by itself. You don't need to add a separate word for 'for'. You just put the thing you are looking for directly after the verb.
Why is the verb ist placed after hier in the second half of the sentence?
In a standard German statement, the verb must go in the second position. The word aber (but) is a connecting word that takes 'position zero'—it doesn't count toward the word order. That makes hier position one, so the verb ist stays safely in position two!
What kind of 'room' is a Zimmer?
A Zimmer is a standard enclosed room used for living, working, or sleeping, like a hotel room, bedroom, or living room. Since this sentence is about numbered rooms (like in a hotel or a dormitory), Zimmer is exactly the right word.
