Questions & Answers about Unser Hotel ist sehr nah.
What are the comparative and superlative forms of nah?
The word nah (close or near) is highly irregular! To say "closer," you use näher (notice the added umlaut). But to say "closest," the spelling changes completely to am nächsten (the 'h' turns into a 'ch').
Why is it unser Hotel and not unsere or unseres?
Hotel is a neuter noun (das Hotel). In the nominative case (when it is the main subject of the sentence), the neuter form for the possessive "our" is just unser, with no extra endings attached.
If I want to say the hotel is close to a specific place, do I just add the place after nah?
Usually, no. While nah works perfectly to generally say something is close, if you want to say "close to the train station," German speakers typically use the phrase in der Nähe von (literally: in the vicinity of). For example, you would say in der Nähe vom Bahnhof.
