A lakás bútorozott.

A is the definite article, so it means the.

• a lakás = the apartment / the flat
• Hungarian uses a before consonant sounds and az before vowel sounds:
  • a lakás
  • az asztal

So in this sentence, a simply marks lakás as a specific apartment.

Lakás means apartment or flat.

A few useful notes:

• It usually refers to a place to live in, especially an apartment in a building.
• The á is a long vowel, so it is important in pronunciation and spelling.
• The final s in Hungarian is pronounced like English sh, so lakás sounds roughly like lah-kaash.

Bútorozott is an adjective, meaning furnished.

It comes from bútor = furniture, and from the verb bútoroz = to furnish.

So:

• bútor = furniture
• bútoroz = furnish
• bútorozott = furnished

In this sentence, it describes the apartment.

In Hungarian, the verb to be is often left out in the present tense, third person singular, when the sentence is of the type X is Y.

So:

• A lakás bútorozott. = The apartment is furnished.

Hungarian does not need van here.

Compare:

• A lakás nagy. = The apartment is big.
• A lakás bútorozott. = The apartment is furnished.

But in other situations, forms of to be do appear, for example in the past tense:

• A lakás bútorozott volt. = The apartment was furnished.

No, that would be incorrect in normal Hungarian.

In this kind of sentence, you should simply say:

• A lakás bútorozott.

Using van here sounds ungrammatical because present-tense is is normally omitted in third person singular predicate sentences with an adjective or noun.

A simple pronunciation guide:

• A ≈ short aw/uh
• lakás ≈ lah-kaash
• bútorozott ≈ boo-to-ro-zott

A few helpful pronunciation points:

• Stress is usually on the first syllable of each word.
• á is longer than a.
• ú is a long oo sound.
• s is pronounced sh.
• z is like English z.
• tt is a longer, stronger t sound.

So the whole sentence is roughly:

aw LAH-kaash BOO-to-ro-zott

Yes, Hungarian word order is flexible, but the neutral, straightforward version is:

• A lakás bútorozott.

This is the most natural way to say The apartment is furnished as a plain statement.

You may also hear:

• Bútorozott a lakás.

This can sound more marked or focus on bútorozott. English usually keeps a more fixed word order, but Hungarian changes word order more freely depending on emphasis and information structure.

For a learner, A lakás bútorozott is the best basic pattern.

Good question. The difference is:

• a lakás = the apartment (a specific one)
• egy lakás = an apartment / one apartment

So:

• A lakás bútorozott. = The apartment is furnished.
• Egy lakás bútorozott. = An apartment is furnished. / One apartment is furnished.

In most normal contexts, a is used when both speaker and listener know which apartment is meant.

You add nem before the adjective:

• A lakás nem bútorozott. = The apartment is not furnished.

This is a very common pattern in Hungarian:

• A szoba nem nagy. = The room is not big.
• A lakás nem bútorozott. = The apartment is not furnished.

Yes. If the subject is plural, the predicate adjective is usually plural too.

Compare:

• A lakás bútorozott. = The apartment is furnished.
• A lakások bútorozottak. = The apartments are furnished.

So:

• singular: bútorozott
• plural: bútorozottak

This is useful because English adjectives do not change for plural, but Hungarian predicate adjectives often do.

No. It can be used for other rooms or properties too, whenever you mean furnished.

For example:

• A szoba bútorozott. = The room is furnished.
• A ház bútorozott. = The house is furnished.

However, you will very often see bútorozott in housing and rental contexts, where it means the place comes with furniture.
