Post by Cosmo Kramerquale è la differenza tra HOME e HOUSE?
se non ricordo male HOME si usa per i condomini o case con un solo
piano, mentre HOUSE per le ville!
Ricordi male.
House = la casa intesa come edificio
Home = la casa intesa come abitazione
HOUSE
1 [C] a building for people to live in, usually for one family:
He went into the house. ? a two-bedroom house ? Let?s have the party
at my house. ? House prices in London are still falling. ? What time do
you leave the house in the morning (= to go to work)? ? We went on a
tour of the house and grounds (for example, at a country house, open
to the public).
HOME
1 [C, U] the house or flat/apartment that you live in, especially with
your family:
We are not far from my home now. ? Old people prefer to stay in their
own homes. ? She leaves home at 7 every day. ? the family home ?
While travelling she missed the comforts of home. ? He left home (=
left his parents and began an independent life) at sixteen. ?
Nowadays a lot of people work from home. ? I?ll call you from home
later. ? (figurative) We haven?t found a home for all my father?s books
yet (= a place where they can be kept). ? stray dogs needing new
homes
2 [C] a house or flat/apartment, etc., when you think of it as property
that can be bought and sold:
a holiday / summer home ? A lot of new homes are being built on the
edge of town. ? Private home ownership is increasing faster than ever.
? They applied for a home improvement loan.
