Küche

kitchen

noun KUE-khe Less Common

Origin: from Latin coquina

Also means

cuisine

Usage Note

Küche means both the room and a style of cooking — die italienische Küche is 'Italian cuisine'. Don't confuse it with the near-twin Kuchen (cake), which is masculine and pronounced with a long 'oo'. The umlaut and the final '-e' both matter here.

Examples

"Die Küche ist sehr modern."

Natural Translation

The kitchen is very modern.
