Text and translation
The new flat is bigger than our current flat. The kitchen is more modern, and the bedrooms are quieter. However, the rent is higher each month. The neighbourhood has better bus connections. It is also nearer to my partner's workplace. We compare the total cost before making a decision.
الشقة الجديدة أكبر من شقتنا الحالية. المطبخ أحدث، وغرف النوم أهدأ. لكن الإيجار أعلى كل شهر. الحي فيه خطوط حافلات أفضل. وهو أقرب أيضًا إلى مكان عمل شريكي. نقارن التكلفة الإجمالية قبل اتخاذ القرار.
