"욕실"

Translation: Bathroom

[SvedishPlumber]

Difference between this and 화장실?

[AricAdam]

화장실 basically means powder room. In Western terms it really means just a room with the toilet and the sink yo wash your hands. Maybe a mirror for someone to touch up their makeup.

욕실 means a room where someone takes a bath in. Literally a bath-room.

[Tarophiny]

화장실 is a restroom which normally has a toilet whereas 욕실 has bath or shower

[rkirsling]

This is literally the room where the bath is (浴室).

Yup, 욕실 is literally a bath room. Think like 목욕탕 being a bath house.

Seems like 욕 means: swear word, curse or speak ill of, criticize, insult, etc.
But as far as I can find 욕 doesn't really mean anything related to a bath. So how this word came to be is quite interesting.

Apparently 욕 is also the reading of a Sino-Korean word which also has a Hanja equivalent (浴) that literally means bath. I put this syllable through my Hangeul-Hanja keyboard and the character's name was "목욕할 욕" which translates to "욕 - to take a bath". I hope this will be helpful.

i use the word “화장실” but have never used the word “욕실.” as always, learning korean from duolingo is like learning korean from google translate, after you’ve converted through like ten languages.

Wow, that's harsh.

[jijiyahh]

Isn't it 화장실? I've heard that word many times so I know they're talking about going to the bathroom whenever I heard them say it
