In our daily lives, we often use words that sound similar but are actually different. 'Washroom', 'bathroom' and 'toilet' are three such words that we often use interchangeably. But do you know that there is a huge difference between them? Let us tell you the difference between them in this article.

 

There are some words in our daily life that we use repeatedly, but never think about their true meaning. Especially when we ask someone “Where is the toilet?” or “I want to go to the bathroom” and consider them to be the same. But have you ever noticed that 'washroom', 'bathroom' and 'toilet'. Even though these three words sound similar, their meaning and usage are different? Often we use these words interchangeably, whereas in reality there is a huge difference between them.

 

This difference is especially evident when we are in another city, state or country. People there use different words, and if we do not use the correct word, sometimes we may have to face embarrassment. Apart from this, it is also seen many times that people are unable to understand which place the other person is talking about, is he asking about a place to bathe or a toilet? Today in this article, we will understand in simple and clear language what is the difference between washroom, bathroom and toilet, and which word is considered correct to use at which place.

 

 

 

1. Toilet

Toilet is the place where people go to defecate or urinate. This word is directly related to the natural needs of the body. In India, we often call it 'toilet' or 'latrine'. This word is very clear, but some people hesitate to say it because it sounds a bit strange.

 

2. Bathroom

Bathroom means the room or place where one takes bath. In olden times, bathrooms had only facilities for taking bath, but now in many houses, bathroom and toilet are in the same room. Because of this, people consider these two words to be the same. Whereas in reality, the main function of the bathroom is related to taking bath.

3. Washroom

The word washroom is usually used in public places, such as malls, offices or hotels. This word is considered a little decent and formal. Apart from defecation, washrooms also have facilities for washing hands, cleaning and changing clothes.

So now you must have understood that washroom, bathroom and toilet are three different words which have different meaning and usage. Toilet is for defecation, bathroom is for bathing and washroom is a formal word which is used in public places.
