"厕所坏了。"

Translation: The toilet does not work.

[ASZ18101849]

I think a more literal translation would be, "The toilet is broken."

[gyuy75758ha]

That's what I used.

[Patrick_Dark]

"The toilet is out of service." should be accepted given that "The toilet is out of order." is accepted.

[RuciGluci]

is there a difference between：厕所，洗手间 and 卫生间？if so，could you please explain it to me？

[Wilson.Ta]

Literally translated, they mean "toilet", "washroom" and "hygiene room" but nobody says hygiene room. It's just different terms used in different countries, just like Baño and Servicio in Spanish.

In Taiwan, 廁所/洗手間/化妝室. The same thing, but in formal place, the sign of洗手間&化妝室 used more often. In normal speaking, 廁所 is used often.

[Mihaela9542]

When i translated as "doesn't work" duolingo accepted only "is out of order".Now is the reversed situation. Either accept both or focus on one. The lack of consistency is the most bothering

[luynok]

Four character horror story right there.

[Wilson.Ta]

坏 can also be translated as "spoilt".

[Wilson.Ta]

Or faulty

Is 厕所 both a room and the actual toilet?

[ASZ18101849]

According to Google Translate, "toilet" is the most common translation for 厕所 but "lavatory" is another possible one. So I suppose that it could probably be either just the toilet or the whole bathroom.

[insipidlight]

廁所 is a bathroom, 馬桶 (mǎ​tǒng) is a toilet bowl.
That's what my Taiwan family says.

[7Raen7]

Personally think that "Toilet malfunctioned" sounds more humorous and composed.

[AileenGuan]

Toilet is broken' should be accepted.

[rNMzIWWw]

Ughhh. That's gotta stink.

[wx.c0539054e7ab1]

The toilet is broken should also be accepted

[FJSoekahar]

What are the differences betwen 厕所 vs 洗手间?

[jackcs]

I am sure they been the rest room not just the toilet

[Egg148526]

anybody here from 2020?

[Owain_RJ]

2021, would be nice if the comments had a date on them tbh, they could be years old or just from yesterday for all you know.

[S0R0USH]

The toilet is malfunctioning?

[Eoin790683]

"The toilets are broken" and "The toilets don't work" are rejected! Come on Duo.

[CalDoe]

Toilet = 马桶，又称便桶、粪桶、恭桶、虎子、木馬子.
However 厕所 is almost certainly more likely to mean "bathroom" than "toilet" and so answers with "bathroom" or "restroom" in place of toilet should be accepted

[Shinya_Taiwan]

" The toilet has been broken." was rejected. I am not a native english speaker. Is that sentence unnatural ?
