"The bathroom"

Translation: Das Bad

[alvpinero]

Is there any semantic difference between "Bad" and "Toilette"?

[wataya]

yes, there is: in a 'Bad' or 'Badezimmer' (in contrast to a 'Toilette') you'll normally find a shower and/or a bathtub.

[alvpinero]

Totally clear, thank you!

[maijums]

Toilette = WC

[falconseven]

Why is it just das Bad and not das Badezimmer? I would have assumed there was quite a difference.

[cuta12girl]

Finally!Toadally thought the same thing(￣(エ)￣)

[LarsThornb]

In Swedish we have the same distinction: toalett och badrum :)

[stour_blade]

"Bad" vs "Badezimmer"?

[S851648]

Both mean "bathroom". "Bad" can also mean "bath" as in "Ich nehme ein Bad" – "I'm taking a bath".

[lindenlea1]

Has Badezimmer fallen out of usage? It was the word for bathroom I was taught at school (a long time ago).

Once again Duo teaches id one thing (badezimmer) without presenting any gender information and then asks us a question about the gender of a derivative version (bad). Not the best traching technic: seems more focused on causing wrong answers and frustration.
