Tips

culture
Chinese floor plans are described as NM (N bedrooms, M living rooms). Common configurations: 一室一厅 (studio-ish 1BR), 两室一厅 (2BR/1LR), 三室两厅 (3BR/2LR — most common family layout), (luxury). (tīng) is the combined living-dining room. Sometimes extended with (wèi, bathroom): 三室两厅.
usage
Often shortened in casual speech and listings to 11 or 1 (yī jū). 一居 (one-room) is even more compact — a true studio. 开间 (kāijiān) means a single open room with no separate bedroom.
