Surely you are already familiar to such basic words from this topic, like a table (table), chair (chair), Bed (bed) and others. But do you know how in English will be called, for example, a lampshade or ironing board?

We replenish this gap in knowledge and enrich your vocabulary with new useful words that will allow faster to navigate, for example, in the sections of the online store, and accurately use it when you communicate with a homeowner when you decide to rent an apartment abroad.

This article is entirely devoted to such an interesting topic as the situation at home. Today will answer the following common questions: how will it be in English "furniture", what it happens and how to talk about furniture objects in English.

Rooms in the house and furniture in them

Vocabulary on the topic "Furniture" is one of the basic in English. By the way, in English home furniture will be called Furniture. Under this word is understood as the situation and equipment of the residential premises in the broad sense of the word. But if we talk about some particular subject in the house (sofa or dresser) - this is already a Piece of Furniture.

In Russian, we used to call the "fittings" not the furniture itself, but its parts. For example, handles for cabinets, guides for boxes, chairs on chairs and so on. Furnitura can be not only furniture, but also shoe (laces, buckles), construction (locks, closers), industrial (locks, flywheels, pins) and the other.

Remember this faithful translation of the word "furniture" into English, so as not to be confused in the future. What for Russian "fittings", then for Englishman - Furnishing or Accessories. But the furniture store in English will be Furniture Store.

For simplicity of study, we offer to divide the furniture on the rooms: so new words will be much easier and visually remember. Also, the topic "Furniture" in English usually includes the main electrical appliances and equipment by type of sockets and switches, which is in every home.

We tried to collect all the furniture in English with the translation in one place, for convenience, breaking it into groups:

Useful words

Little just to know the names of the main furniture items in English. It is also important to be able to tell about where they are at home. The following universal words will help this to describe furniture in space: Behind - Rear
Between - Between
In Front Of - Before
NEXT TO - Near
Opposite (To) - opposite
To the left (of) - left (from)
To the right (of) - Right (from)

For example, if you want to say that in the living room between the fireplace and the bookcase there is a big chair, it will sound as follows:There Is a Big Armchair Between The Fireplace and the Bookcase in the Living Room.

Well, to secure the material, practice in the preparation of simple offers on furniture items that are in your home. Describe where they are located, as they look, where you purchased them and what they like them. The topic "Furniture" in English is not only easy, but also nice to learn, because you can do it at home in your free time.

As the British say, "There IS No Place Like Home!" (Better there is no place at home), and we fully agree with them in Puzzle english.

Notes:

1. The difference between Bathroom, Restroom, Lavatory, Toilet.

All four words mean "toilet", but between them there is a difference - meaningful and in use.

• Bathroom. - It is a bathroom at home, that is, a room where the bathroom is combined (Bathtub) and a toilet. While at home, people usually say "Bathroom", and not other options. Also, if in the house bathroom and a separate toilet, then the bathroom is a bathroom.
• Toilet. - 1) Toilet in a house or apartment with a separate bathroom (bathroom) and toilet (toilet), 2) toilet.
• Restroom. - public toilet. Being in a public place, usually say "I need to go to the restroom", and not "bathroom".
• Lavatory. - Public toilet, especially by plane.

2. The difference between Wardrobe, Cupboard and Closet.

There is a difference in the use of these words in British and American English.

In Great Britain wardrobe - This is a wardrobe. A bright example - a wardrobe, through which the notorious characters hit the narnia: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. - Narnia Chronicles: Lion, Witch and Magic cupboard .

Again in the UK c.upboard - This is not only a wardrobe for dishes, as follows from the name, but also a closet (buffet) for products and other things, that is, any locker with the door (doors). For example, in the office in the Cupboard, papers can be stored, stationery. Harry Potter lived in Cupboard Under the Stairs. Word closeet. In the UK means not a "cabinet", but "pantry", "Square".

IN USA cupboard. - this is a wardrobe for dishes or pantry, wardrobe or closeet. - wardrobe. Closeet. Also can be a storage room, countertop.

3. LAPTOP \\ Notebook.

In Russian, the laptop is called a laptop, sometimes a laptop. In English - only laptop (from the words of Laps - knees, TOP - from above, i.e. "Whole computer"). Notebook. - This is English notebook or a big notebook. Little notebook - notepad..

Friends! Now I'm not engaged in tutoring, but if you need a teacher, I recommend this wonderful website - There is a teacher of carriers (and not carriers) of the language on all occasions and on any pocket 🙂 I myself passed more than 80 lessons with teachers who found there!

Why is it important to know the name of household items? First, the study of these words will increase your vocabulary. Secondly, the interior items are what we have to come across daily. Whether a trip to the furniture store, a description of the house of your dreams to engaging friends or search for bath accessories in the supermarket department.

I will give you an example of a comic case that happened to me a few years ago. I visited friends in England, it was my first visit to them. One day, the topic of national cuisine was raised at dinner. I tried traditional English dishes, and the receiving family did not give anything Ukrainian. It was decided the next day to prepare dinner together in a large kitchen. Being deeply confident that I don't need to know the name of the kitchen utensils, I successfully missed this section of vocabulary in student years. And here it began the most interesting thing: on a huge strange kitchen, where everything is hidden on the lockers, I could not say that I need a grater, a cutting board and a half. The explanation on the fingers was saved by the situation, but by returning home I first learned the vocabulary associated with the interior items, which and you now offer.

How to learn words

Above presented quite a lot of new vocabulary, but how to remember it? Probably, you have repeatedly seen in the apartments of people studying foreign language, sticky stickers on each way of everybody with the title of this subject in a foreign language. Why not do this in your own apartment? This will help you and your family members are easy to remember the words necessary for daily communication, involuntarily paying attention to them every day.
Another unobtrusive way to memorize words is after the familiarization with them - the repetition of the subjects around you. Go around the house, calling everything that meets and what you remember. Those words that cannot be remembered must repeat again. Not every house is so filled with various interior and everybody objects. Hiking will be useful to furniture stores or a trip to Ikea: walking from the department to the department, call everything you see in English. Here there is something for sure, where to practice!

Furniture occupies a huge space in our homes. Moreover, we touch the furniture more than anything else in the home. Because if you need to regularly apply English in practice, it is necessary to know what is called absolutely all furniture in English.

If you also remember the names of things, then it is better to do it systematically. Fortunately, furniture objects and home interior can be divided into belonging to the room or departure of the apartment / house. We will deal with this.

• Furnishings - [Fɜːnɪʃɪŋz] * - furniture, household items;
• Layout - [Leɪaʊt] * - Furnishing, the same as the interior.

* Transcription and pronunciation of British (and will continue too).

English poems in which parts of the house and furniture are mentioned

I Never Want To Go to Bed
Kenn Nesbitt.

I Never Want To Go to Bed.
I Like to Stay Up Late.
I "M Bouncing Off The Bedroom Walls
and, Frankly, Feeling Great!

I "M Dancing Like a Maniac
Instead of Counting Sheep.
My Mom Says, "Time for Bed."
My Dad Yells, "Get Your Butt to Sleep!"

I "M Not Sure What My Bottom
HAS TO DO WITH ANYTHING,
But That "S Okay Because I" D Rather
Jump Around and Sing.

I DON "T Know What It Was
That Made Me Feel So Wide Awake.
COULD IT Have Been The Red Bull
And The Double-Chocolate Cake?

I Wonder If The Seven Cups
Of Coffee Plus Dessert
Of Hershey Bars and Skittles
Are What Left Me This Alert?

WHATEVER IT TURNS OUT TO BE
That Made Me Feel This Right,
I Hope i Track IT Down
So I Can Stay Up Every ... zzzzzzzz

The Kitchen.

A Home Is Made Of Many Rooms
To Rest, To Sleep, To Shower,
To Play, and Read, and Talk A Lot,
Do Hobbies by The Hour.

But The Kitchen, AH, The Kitchen
IS A ROOM THAT "S MADE OF DREAMS
Of Fantasies ... Created by
A Love of Cooking Schemes.

To Touch, To Smell, To Visualize
The Wonders That Occur ...
And then to Taste and then to Taste
Results of Things That Were.

At One Time Just "Ingredients,"
IN THEIR PLACES ON THE SHELVES
But Become A Wondrous Mixture
As though transformed by elves.

Yes, a home is Made of Many Rooms.
Each One Has It "S Pleasures,
But The Kitchen Is The Best of All
For Finding Hidden Treasures.

Please Remember - Don "T Forget ...
Mabel Lucie Attwell.

Please REMEMBER - DON'T FORGET!
Never Leave The Bathroom Wet.
Nor Leave The Soap Still in the Water. -
That's a the Thing We Never Ought "ER! -
And as you "ve ben so offten told,
Never Let the "Hot" Run "Cold";
Nor Leave The Towels Upon The Floor.
NOR KEEP THE BATH AN HOUR OR MORE -
WHEN OTHER FOLKS ARE WANTING ONE;
Just Don "T Forget - IT ISN'T DONE! -
An "If You" D Really Do The Things -
There "S Not The Slightest Need to Sing!
