It appears in sentences such as "Dieses Modell ist neuer als das alte" (This model is newer than the old one). The corresponding superlative is "neueste" or "am neuesten," depending on construction.

As an adjective, it declines with gender, number, and case; examples include "ein neuer Tag" (masculine nominative singular) and "das neue Modell" (neuter with definite article).

The surname itself is of German origin and may be found among people in sports, academia, and other fields.
