el cuarto, el dormitorio, la recamara

Question

Can someone translate this for me. I'm identifying rooms of the house. Thank you.

Answer 1

they can all be synonyms for bedroom depending on context, region, etc., though cuarto is more generic for room as in cuarto de baño

recámara

Answer 2

As far as I know, it would be unusual to use both recámara and dormitorio for rooms in the same house, since they are used in different geographical regions. For example, recámara is used in Mexico, and dormitorio in Spain.

Answer 3

Thanks.

Answer 5

I have heard that habitación is the more common word for room in Spain (rather than cuarto).
