Question

Please tell me what is the difference between "la dormitorio" and "habitacione in rental ads "? For example, ofreciendo apartamentos para rentar de una y dos habitaciones. Do they both mean bed room?

Thank you. W

Answer 1

Since you posted this in the grammar section, let's dispense with the grammar first.

Dormitorio is masculine, hence, el dormitorio.

Bedroom is one word in English.

The singular noun for habitaciones is habitación (no e on the end).

Now to your question:

It would depend on the region that you are in. If they commonly use other words like domitorio, alcoba, or recámara for bedroom then habitación probably just means room (cuarto).

So it could mean a one or two room apartment or a one or two bedroom apartment depending on which region you are in.

Answer 2

Habitación: room

Dormitorio: bedroom

If it says "2 habitaciones" it's probably one bedroom and one more room (living room, family room, etc).

Answer 3

Do a search using the words dormitorio and habitación in the text box near the top of the page.
