Comment on The California man who hid for 6 months in a secret room inside Circuit Cityparent

Comments

Danish, Dutch: toilet, Estonian: tualett, Finnish: toiletti, French: toilette, German: Toilette, Greek: τουαλέτα, Hungarian: toalett, Italian: toilette, Latvian: tualete, Lithuanian: tualetas, Maltese: toilet, Norwegian: toalett, Polish: toaleta, Portuguese: tolaete, Romanian: toaletă, Russian and basically every other Slavic language: туалет, Swedish: toalett, Turkish: tuvalet, Welsh: toiled

assuming Wiktionary can be trusted on all of these

Honourable mention to the incomparable Scots language for "cludgie"!

Also, much of the European world refers to a "powder room" as a toilet

OK, now I get it that I misunderstood the comment! I thought that "powder room" was supposed to be a word in Europe.

Toilet and its variants - of course.

Thanks!

BTW for French it will be the plural "toilettes", the singular form means "the action of washing yourself"
