Home, Clothes & Daily Life in French

Many people in French cities live in an appartement rather than a maison, so words like l'étage (floor) and l'ascenseur (elevator) come up a lot. These words cover rooms, furniture, clothes, and daily life. Watch for false friends: une veste is a jacket, not a vest.

FAQ

Home, Clothes & Daily Life in French: common questions

What is the difference between la maison and chez moi?

La maison is a house, or home in general. Chez moi means "at my place" for any kind of home: je suis chez moi (I'm at home). À la maison also means at home.

How do I ask to try something on in French?

Say Je peux l'essayer ? (Can I try it on?). In a shop, staff may answer with Bien sûr, les cabines sont au fond (Of course, the fitting rooms are at the back).

Does la cuisine mean kitchen or cooking?

Both. La cuisine is the room, and it is also cooking or a style of food: la cuisine française. The context makes it clear.
