A lakás bérelhető, és a bérlő beköltözhet.

A / az is the Hungarian definite article, equivalent to English the.

• a is used before words that begin with a consonant: a lakás, a bérlő
• az is used before words that begin with a vowel: for example, az alma

So:

• A lakás = the apartment / the flat
• a bérlő = the tenant

Hungarian does not capitalize the article just because it means the; it is capitalized here only because it begins the sentence.

They are two different nouns:

• lakás = apartment / flat
• bérlő = tenant / renter

A useful connection:

• bérel = to rent / lease
• bérlő = person who rents → tenant

So bérlő is built from the same word family as bérelhető.

The ending -ható / -hető is a very common Hungarian suffix meaning roughly can be ..., able to be ..., or -able.

Here:

• bérel = to rent
• bérelhető = rentable / can be rented

Because the verb stem has front vowels, the form is -hető rather than -ható.

Compare:

• olvasható = readable, can be read
• érthető = understandable, can be understood
• bérelhető = rentable, can be rented

So A lakás bérelhető literally works like The apartment is rentable / can be rented.

In this sentence, bérelhető behaves like an adjective/predicative adjective.

• A lakás bérelhető. = The apartment is rentable / available to rent.

Hungarian often uses adjective-like forms where English might use a passive construction. So instead of saying something exactly like is rented, Hungarian can use a form meaning can be rented.

You can also use bérelhető before a noun:

• bérelhető lakás = an apartment that can be rented / a rentable apartment

The ending -ó / -ő often forms a noun meaning the one who does something.

Here:

• bérel = to rent
• bérlő = one who rents → tenant

This is similar to English patterns like teach → teacher, although Hungarian forms it differently.

Other examples:

• vezet = to drive / lead → vezető = driver, leader
• hallgat = to listen → hallgató = listener, student

So bérlő is literally the renting person.

beköltözhet breaks down into:

• be- = in, into
• költözik = to move house / move residence
• -het = can / may

So beköltözhet means can move in.

Hungarian very often combines a verb prefix and a verb into one written word, especially when the prefix stands directly before the verb.

So:

• beköltözik = moves in
• beköltözhet = can move in

The prefix be- gives the idea of movement inward / into.

Without the prefix:

• költözik = moves house, relocates

With the prefix:

• beköltözik = moves in

So be- makes the direction more specific. Hungarian uses many such prefixes:

• be- = in
• ki- = out
• fel- = up
• le- = down

For example:

• bemegy = goes in
• kimegy = goes out

The ending -hat / -het is the modal suffix meaning can / may / be able to.

So:

• beköltözik = moves in
• beköltözhet = can move in / may move in

Again, vowel harmony determines whether the form is -hat or -het. Here it is -het.

This suffix is very common:

• jöhet = can come
• mehet = can go
• maradhat = can stay

Because Hungarian usually expresses can / may by adding a suffix directly to the verb:

• English: move in → can move in
• Hungarian: beköltözik → beköltözhet

So instead of using a separate auxiliary verb like English can, Hungarian often builds that meaning into the verb itself.

In the present tense, Hungarian often omits the verb van (is/are) when the sentence links a subject to a noun or adjective.

So:

• A lakás bérelhető. literally looks like The apartment rentable. but it means The apartment is rentable.

This is completely normal in Hungarian.

Compare:

• A ház nagy. = The house is big.
• A lakás bérelhető. = The apartment is rentable.

But in other contexts, van can appear, especially for existence or location.

Yes, Hungarian word order is fairly flexible, but the given order is the most neutral and straightforward.

This sentence presents:

1. the topic A lakás
2. what is said about it: bérelhető
3. then a second clause with a bérlő as the topic and beköltözhet as the comment

So the structure is very natural:

• A lakás bérelhető, és a bérlő beköltözhet.

Different word orders are possible, but they would usually change the emphasis.

For a learner, the safest reading is:

• first clause: The apartment is available to rent
• second clause: and the tenant can move in

Because és means and, and here it connects two full clauses:

• A lakás bérelhető
• a bérlő beköltözhet

In Hungarian, it is normal to use a comma before és when it joins two separate clauses with their own predicates.

So the comma is not unusual here.

Not exactly, although they can be similar in real life.

• bérelhető = rentable / can be rented
• kiadó = for rent / available for rent

In advertisements, Hungarians very often say:

• Kiadó lakás = Apartment for rent

That is often more idiomatic in property listings.
But bérelhető is still understandable and grammatically correct, and it emphasizes the idea that the apartment can be rented.

Because both nouns are singular:

• lakás = apartment
• bérlő = tenant

Hungarian nouns do not need extra endings unless the grammar requires them. Here both are simple singular subject forms.

If they were plural, you would see:

• lakások = apartments
• bérlők = tenants

So the sentence stays simple because both subjects are singular and are in their basic dictionary-like form.

A few helpful points:

• á is a long a
• é is a long e
• ő is a long front rounded vowel, somewhat like the vowel in German schön if you know German
• ö is the shorter version of that sound

Rough guide:

• lakás ≈ la-kaash
• bérelhető ≈ bay-rel-heh-tő
• bérlő ≈ bayr-lő
• beköltözhet ≈ be-köl-töz-het

Also, Hungarian stress is normally on the first syllable of each word:

• LA-kás
• BÉ-rel-he-tő
• BÉR-lő
• BE-köl-töz-het
