in or from the northwest part

in, from, or about the northwest part of a place

Padron ng paggamit: northwestern [region/country/city]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes confuse 'northwestern' with the phrase 'northwest of'. Use 'northwestern' before a noun to describe a part of something (e.g. 'northwestern Germany'), but use 'northwest of' with another place as a reference (e.g. 'The town is northwest of Berlin'). Another issue is dropping the final '-ern' and saying *'northwest part' when a single adjective is needed; both 'northwest part' and 'northwestern part' are possible, but before many nouns like 'region' or 'province', 'northwestern' sounds more natural.
Mga kasingkahulugan
northwest (Often used attributively in the same way (e.g. 'northwest Spain'); slightly shorter and more common in headlines and maps.) | northwesterly (More formal and less common for places; more often refers to direction or winds than to regions.)
Mga kasalungat
southeastern (Describes something in or from the opposite part of a place, the southeast instead of the northwest.)

coming from the northwest side or direction

Padron ng paggamit: northwestern [wind/breeze/front/flow]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners may confuse 'northwestern wind' with 'wind to the northwest'. 'Northwestern wind' means the wind comes from the northwest, not that it is blowing toward the northwest. In weather English, the named direction is where the wind starts, not where it goes.
Mga kasingkahulugan
northwesterly (More standard and frequent in weather reports and technical descriptions of wind and movement.)
Mga kasalungat
southeastern (When describing winds or systems, indicates they come from the opposite direction, the southeast.)
