Pronunciation
Adjective
hinterer (no predicative form, strong nominative masculine singular hinterer or hintrer, strong comparative nominative masculine singular (very rare, vernacular only) hintererer, strong superlative nominative masculine singular (standard) hinterster)
- back, hind
Dein Mantel ist in dem hinteren Zimmer.- Your coat is in the back room.
Usage notes
- Since the adjective is already semantically comparative in its positive form, the grammatical comparative forms are very rare and heard in the vernacular only. They might be used to mean “even further in the back”. For example: Dein Mantel ist in dem hinteren Zimmer. − In diesem? − Nein, in dem noch hintereren. (“Your coat is in the back room.” – “This one?” − “No, the one behind that.”)
- The superlative forms are perfectly normal, being the same as English hindmost.
