Usage tips
Word structure
'Unbewohnt' (uninhabited) consists of 'un-' and 'bewohnt' (inhabited). Here, the prefix 'un-' negates the meaning of 'bewohnt' (inhabited), creating the opposite quality.
EXAMPLE
Das abgelegene Tal ist seit vielen Jahren unbewohnt.
The remote valley has been uninhabited for many years.
Typical collocations
'Unbewohnt' (uninhabited) is often used with geographical terms or words for structures, such as islands, houses, buildings, and areas.
EXAMPLE
Die Forscher untersuchten mehrere unbewohnte Inseln im Pazifik.
The researchers studied several uninhabited islands in the Pacific.
Sentence patterns
The adjective often follows 'sein' (to be) or 'bleiben' (to remain) and can also appear directly before a noun. It can thus describe the state of a place or modify a noun directly.
EXAMPLE
Die Hütte bleibt im Winter unbewohnt.
The cabin remains uninhabited in winter.
Wir erreichten eine unbewohnte Insel.
We reached an uninhabited island.
