02/06/19 - Type of House

[Hariff]

What kind of house do you live in? Semi-detached, bungalow or tree house - vote on the poll and/or say below! I live in a detached house  

 

[Benfro]

Such un-American phrasing, I love it! But I qualify as detached.

 

[sojourner]

I have my own house 

 

[Szeth]

Detached means a normal American house then?

 

[Szeth]

I’ll just say “other” as it is a house I live in away from anyone else with nothing special about it. Maybe a cottage or bungalow, but I don’t know what those are

 

[Micchan]

I live in a kennel

British to American translation:

Detached- a house

Semi-detached- duplex

Terraced- a middle townhouse

End of terrace- first or last townhouse

Cottage- cottage

Bungalow- hell if I know

Flat- apartment 

Hall of residence- the hallway? Idk this is weird 

Room- you have roommates, but none sleep in the hall, because that's a different thing apparently

 

[Angevin]

A townhouse in the UK tends to be 3 story

Bungalow  is 1 story, and for coffin dodgers so they don't have to climb stairs or get a stannah.

Hall of residence would be at like university or college  Room is just a room in a shared house. Bungalow is one story

[Szeth]

No. We have three houses though. Two single story and one double story. We might be buying a fourth house. 

 

[Szeth]

It's just a mansion split between different locations

Detached (very, I have lots of woods around me) , though I have one semi-detached ski house and we bought a townhouse from our grandparents a few years back.
