Questions & Answers about Das Passwort ist ganz neu.
Why does ganz mean completely instead of whole here?
When ganz is used to describe an adjective (like neu), it translates to completely, entirely, or quite. It generally only means whole when it comes right before a noun (like die ganze Pizza).
Why isn't there an ending on the adjective neu?
In German, adjectives only take endings (like -e or -es) when they come directly before a noun. Because neu comes after the verb ist to describe the subject, it stays in its basic dictionary form.
How can I remember that Passwort is a neuter (das) word?
Compound nouns always take the gender of their final part. Because Wort (word) is a neuter noun (das Wort), the compound Passwort is also neuter.
