اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes think "parlor" can be used alone for any shop (e.g., *"I went to the parlor"*). In modern English it is almost always used with another noun before it, like "tattoo parlor" or "beauty parlor." Also note the spelling difference: American English uses "parlor" and British English usually uses "parlour."
معنی
Shop offering a specific service
