Yes, but afdelingen would mean 'departments' rather than 'the department'. But it is still fun to see familiar words in another language!

it was a great surprise to learn how the letters AF- becomes the sound "OU" (as in "hOUse") so I was compelled to check it out in several translators, and voilà c'est vrai !! Does anyone know other astounding related words with "af" , please? tak!!

mange tak! Nice YT channel "dansk udtale", what a pity it hasn't undertekster (even in Dansk). I wonder whom these videos are adressed to...but I hope later in the course I will achieve this understandig level, det synes jeg!!!! ;---)
"Afdeling" is a department, "lejlighed" is a flat/apartment, so no, they aren't interchangeable, but I can see where the confusion is coming from

D's at the beginning of the word or the syllable are usually pronounced. But establishing pronounciation rules for Danish would be a daunting task, it appears.
