bluepoppy Posted February 2, 2005 at 02:57 PM Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 at 02:57 PM There's a similar divide in Chinese isn't there...some people say 廁所 ce4suo3 (toilet) whilat others say 洗手間xi2shou3jian1 (hand-washing room). I say '洗手間‘ xi2 shou3 jian1 because I find it easier to pronounce! In England, it's a 'toilet' or a 'loo', if you want to be extra polite, maybe you are in a meeting or something, you might say 'excuse me for a minute'... 'Bathroom' would be a definite Americanism in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
