Wat this supposed to be a question about English, or do you want to know how to say it in Dutch?
I think the best translation is "gestoffeerd appartement"
- Persian
I am not looking for tge translation I have heard that this is a dutch word in dutch renting and I want to know what it actually means is it the same as furnished if not what the difference is

Can you give me the link to one of these housing sites?
Deleted user
I only see the word "upholstered appartment" when the site is in English, when I change it to Dutch on the top right corner, I don't see this word anymore
- Persian
I asked a british guy he also told me this has no meaning in eng

It is possible just a Dutch site which is badly translated in English, I recommend you using the site in Dutch, and ask if you don't understand a word
- Dutch
Gemeubileerd = furnished (provided with furniture)
Gestoffeerd = upholstered
This means provided with flooring, curtains, ceiling lights, kitchen appliances.

Since Dutch people have a fair knowledge of English, and since the use of English words in Dutch still comes across as being more sophisticated, the Dutch use a lot of English words in a way English does not. They even make up their own 'English' words or, like in this case, assign a new meaning to existing ones.
