Questions & Answers about Das Zimmer bietet viel Komfort.
The verb bietet looks a lot like bitten. What is the difference again?
bieten means "to offer" or "to provide," which is why it's used here for a room offering comfort. bitten, on the other hand, means "to ask" or "to request" (like asking someone for a favor). It's very common to mix these up, along with a third similar verb: beten, which means "to pray."
Why is it viel Komfort without an ending, rather than vielen or viele?
Komfort is an uncountable noun here, just like "comfort" in English. When viel (much / a lot of) is used with singular, uncountable nouns, it generally doesn't take any grammatical endings. You would use viele (many) for countable, plural nouns, such as viele Zimmer (many rooms).
What case is Komfort in here?
It is in the accusative case because it is the direct object—it is the thing being offered. The noun is masculine (der Komfort). We don't see an accusative -en ending on viel because it drops the ending before uncountable nouns, but if you used an article and an adjective, you would clearly see the case: Das Zimmer bietet einen hohen Komfort (The room offers a high level of comfort).
How would I apply this lesson's grammar to say the room offers "not only a lot of comfort, but also a balcony"?
