The rooms L24 did not name
| die Toilette, -n | toilet |
| die Dusche, -n | shower |
| der Keller, - | cellar, basement |
| der Stock (Sg.) | floor, storey |
| The shower is in the bathroom. | Die Dusche ist im Bad. |
der Stock counts floors
German counts storeys ABOVE the ground floor, so der erste Stock is what English calls the first floor only in Britain — an American second floor. The ground floor itself is not a Stock at all.
Wir wohnen im zweiten Stock.
Be careful with the plural: floors are Stockwerke, while die Stöcke means walking sticks.
die Möbel is always plural
die Möbel is the collective word for furniture, and like die Eltern and die Großeltern it has no everyday singular. A single item is ein Möbelstück.
Die Möbel stehen im Wohnzimmer.
| The furniture is in the living room. | Die Möbel stehen im Wohnzimmer. |
baden and duschen
baden is to take a bath, duschen (L65) is to take a shower, and baden also does the work of English to swim at a lake or the sea: Hier darf man nicht baden.
