### Kitchen and Bathroom

Let's start our tour with two important rooms: **bucătăria** (the kitchen) and **baia** (the bathroom). Both of these are feminine nouns.

Notice how when we say "in the kitchen" (**în bucătărie**), the definite article **-a** at the end of the word drops off, reverting to its base form. This happens to most nouns when they follow prepositions like **în**.

### Bedrooms and Living Rooms

The word for the bedroom is **dormitorul**, and the living room is **sufrageria**.

Just like with the kitchen, the definite article drops off when you use the preposition **în** (in). Because **dormitorul** is a neuter noun with the definite article **-ul**, it becomes **în dormitor**. The feminine **sufrageria** becomes **în sufragerie**.

### Hallways and Garages

Moving through the house, you will find **holul** (the hallway) and **garajul** (the garage). These are also neuter nouns that lose their **-ul** ending when following a preposition.

### Outside Spaces

Finally, let's step outside to **grădina** (the garden) and **balconul** (the balcony).

While you are "in" the garden (**în grădină**), Romanian uses the preposition **pe** (on) to say that you are out on the balcony (**pe balcon**).
