Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.In Germany, the word Zimmer is commonly used to describe the various rooms within a house or apartment. For example, a bedroom would be called Schlafzimmer, while a living room would be known as Wohnzimmer. Other types of rooms include Badezimmer (bathroom), Küche (kitchen), and Arbeitszimmer (study).
When looking for accommodation in Germany, it's important to pay attention to the number of Zimmer advertised. This refers to the number of rooms available in the property, not including bathrooms or kitchens. So if you see an apartment advertised as '2-Zimmer', this means it has two separate rooms for living and sleeping.
The concept of Zimmer can also be found in other Germanic languages, such as Dutch (kamer) and Swedish (rum). However, the usage and connotations may differ slightly between cultures. In general, though, Zimmer refers to a private space that is designated for a specific purpose and provides a sense of comfort and security.
