Questions & Answers about Я хотел бы двухместный номер на завтра.
Why is хотел in the past tense if I am asking for a room right now?
To say "I would like" in Russian, you use the past tense of хотеть (to want) plus the particle бы. This forms the conditional mood, which softens your request to sound polite, exactly like "would like" does in English.
If a woman is speaking, does the sentence change?
Yes! Because the conditional mood uses the past tense, the verb must match the gender of the speaker. A woman would say Я хотела бы двухместный номер на завтра.
Двухместный номер is what I want, making it the object of the sentence. Why doesn't it have Accusative case endings?
It actually is in the Accusative case! For inanimate masculine nouns (like номер, meaning a hotel room), the Accusative case endings are identical to the Nominative case. Therefore, both the noun and the adjective look exactly like they do in the dictionary.
How does the word двухместный translate to "double"?
It is a compound word. Двух- comes from два (two), and -местный comes from место (place or seat). So a двухместный номер literally means a "two-place room".
Why do we use на завтра instead of just saying завтра?
