Spanish (Spain)

### In the bathroom

**La bañera** is the bathtub and **la ducha** the shower. You wash with **el jabón** (soap) or, in the shower, with **el gel** — what Spaniards call shower gel. In the bathroom, **el cepillo** on its own is usually a hairbrush; the one for your teeth is **el cepillo de dientes**.

{{item:1219764}}

### **El aseo**

In a Spanish home, **el aseo** is a small room with a toilet and a washbasin, while **el baño** usually has a bath or a shower too. In bars, stations and restaurants the sign often says **Aseos**.

{{item:1219782}}

### **Secar** or **secarse**?

| verb | what gets dry | example |
|---|---|---|
| **secar** | a thing | secar los platos |
| **secarse** | yourself | me seco con la toalla |
| **secarse** + body part | part of you | sécate el pelo |

{{item:1219742}}

{{item:1219744}}

### Body parts take **el / la**

With **la uña**, **el labio** or **el pelo**, Spanish usually uses the article, not **mi**: the reflexive pronoun or the context already says whose they are.

{{item:1219790}}

### Bathroom accidents with **se me…**

The accidental **se** is made for the bathroom. The verb agrees with the thing, not with the person: one nail, **se me ha roto**; two lips, **se me han cortado**.
