different words for toilet

Question

i know that Spanish speakers have changed the word toilet in their language several times and I would like to know all the words that mean toilet because I want to learn everything about the language.

Answer 1

I've heard retrete, excusado, and inodoro. I'm sure there are numerous informal terms as well.

Here's a much less polite way to refer to the toilet.

Answer 2

I don't know if you know this, but in English you also have "latrine" and "commode"

If you know what I mean.

Answer 4

If you are talking about the physical toilet itself, you can say, "escusado or inodoro." There are a few other words as well.

I don't use retrete too much.

For a general statement, you can say, "ya vengo. voy al baño." I'll be right back. I am going to the bathroom (toilet- country dependent.) Some times people say "toilet" for the actual room.
