Hi Christine,
Thank you for some good questions!👍
I am sure you are not the only one wondering.
"weit" can mean "weit entfernt", but it can be used in a
different context too and can take on meanings as varied as
wide, large, broad, vast...
"weit entfernt" really only refers to distance.
The same, in a way, applies to "nächste" versus "neben". They can refer to the
same thing, but "neben" is much more specific, only refering to something "beside".
"nächste" on the other hand can also mean close, near, contiguous. Take for example
"Der Nächste, bitte.", when you are called into the consultation room at the doctor's.
If you have any further questions, please let us know.
Kind regards,
Reinhard

Hello Josmr Hélio Buratto,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention! 👍
You are right: it should read "dieses Jahres".
I will contact our team to have this fixed as soon as possible.
Our apologies for the inconvenience. 😞
If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us again.
Kind regards,

Bis Dezember diesen Jahres werde ich Zuhause sein.
Jahr = Neutral therefor DAS
dieses Jahres = Gen
Jahr n (genitive Jahres or Jahrs, plural Jahre or Jahr,
Why DIESEN JAHRES?
The only possibility to end in EN is the accusative masculine or dative plural. Jahr is neither of them.
Please correct me if I am wrong
tks

Ich habe zwei Frage, bitte:
(1) Do "weit" and "weit entfernt" mean basically the same thing (as in English "far" and "far away")? Or is there a nuance I am missing?
(2) Do "nachste" and "neben" mean basically the same thing?
Danke!

Hi Saeed,
Thank you for your post! A full English to German dictionary is currently not available in our course but you can find example sentence(s) for each word in the vocabulary list so you will have an idea on how the word is used in a general sentence. If the example sentence(s) is/are available for a word, you will see the numbers of example on the right corner of each word. For example: the word "Seite" has 3 example sentences in both German and English as following:
"Die Seiten dieses Buches sind total verklebt.
The pages of this book are sticking together really hard.
Es gibt immer zwei Seiten.
There are always two sides.
Du musst auf der rechten Seite fahren.
You have to drive on the right side."
Does this help? Let us know if you have any other questions!
Cheers,

weitentfernt angrenzend mitte zugewund all new words?
"angrenzend" was a new word for me!
Does your language course also include a dictionary English to German where one can see also use of the word in a sentence ?
