Learn German: Der breite Eingang ist hier. - The wide entrance is here.

In German, when an adjective comes right before a noun and after a definite article (like der, die, or das), it needs a special ending. Because Eingang is the subject of the sentence (the nominative case) and is singular, the adjective ending is just -e. So the base word breit becomes breite.

If I wanted to just say "Wide entrance" without "The", would it still be breite Eingang?

No, it would be breiter Eingang. When there is no definite article like der to show the noun's gender, the adjective has to do the heavy lifting. Because Eingang is a masculine noun, the adjective takes the masculine ending -er. But since der is already showing the gender in our sentence, the adjective just gets the simpler -e ending.

Is the noun Eingang related to the verb gehen?

Yes, it is! Eingang is made up of the prefix ein- (in or into) and Gang (a walk, corridor, or passage), which comes from the verb gehen (to go/walk). So literally, an Eingang is the place where you walk in.

Can I flip this sentence and start with hier?
