Tips

usage

Standard Chinese real-estate layout shorthand: 室 shì = bedroom, 厅 tīng = living/dining room, 卫 wèi = bathroom, 厨 chú = kitchen. 三室两厅一卫 means 3BR/2LR/1BA. The 两厅 is typically split as 客厅 kètīng (living) + 餐厅 cāntīng (dining).

culture

Often abbreviated 三房两厅 in southern China (using 房 for bedroom). Real-estate ads pair this with size in 平 píng (square meters) and floor count.
