Learn Danish: Lejligheden består af tre værelser og et køkken. - The apartment consists of three rooms and a kitchen.

While both words translate to 'room', they have distinct uses in Danish. Et værelse is typically a living space, like a bedroom or living room. Et rum refers to any physical space or enclosed area. In Danish real estate, apartments are usually described by their number of værelser (living areas), with the kitchen and bathroom often mentioned separately, exactly as seen in this sentence.

I have seen the verb består used to mean 'pass'. Why does it mean 'consists' here?

The base verb at bestå can indeed mean 'to pass' (such as passing an exam) or 'to endure/exist'. However, when paired with the preposition af, it forms the fixed phrasal verb at bestå af, which specifically means 'to consist of' or 'to be made up of'.

How would you form the plural of et køkken if the apartment had more than one?

Although the sentence uses the singular form et køkken, its plural is a great irregular noun rule to remember for B2 learners: køkkener. Because the singular noun ends in an unstressed -en, Danish adds an extra -e- before the standard plural -r ending to make the word easier to pronounce.
