Questions & Answers about La chambre est en haut.
How does en haut translate to "upstairs"?
Should I make a liaison and connect the "n" from en with haut?
No, you shouldn't. The h in haut is what we call an "aspirated h". Even though the letter itself is silent, it acts like a wall that blocks liaisons from the previous word. You say en and haut with a tiny break between them, not "en-naut".
How do I say the opposite, "downstairs"?
You use en bas. Just as haut means "high", bas means "low". So en bas literally means "at the bottom" or "downstairs".
Can la chambre refer to any room in the house?
