✕Common Mistakes

  • Hier ist dein Zimmer Schlüssel.

    German compounds are written as one word; splitting creates a grammatical error.

  • Hier ist dein Schlüssel Zimmer.

    Word order in German places the noun before its modifier; the correct order is 'Zimmerschlüssel'.

Cultural Tip

In German-speaking hotels it is customary to hand over the key with a brief greeting like 'Guten Tag' or 'Willkommen'. Using 'dein' signals a friendly, informal relationship; for first‑time guests or more formal contexts, use 'Ihr'. Although many hotels now use electronic key cards, the phrase remains useful for traditional keys and for practicing compound nouns.
