Questions and answers

How do you say house in French?

La maison, a feminine noun: une maison, les maisons. WordReference gives it for the building and for the home. A room of a house is une pièce.

Is it la salle de bain or la salle de bains?

Both are written. WordReference lists salle de bain and salle de bains as one entry, and Larousse and Le Robert write salle de bains. Either spelling counts when typed.

What is the ground floor called in French?

Le rez-de-chaussée. In France it is not counted as an étage, so le premier étage is the floor above it. In Canada the ground floor counts as a floor, WordReference notes.

Where were the French words checked?

Each word, its gender and its house meaning in WordReference and in Le Robert's online dictionary, and again in Larousse.
