ceramic bowl for human waste
A bowl in the bathroom that you sit on to pee or poop, with water that carries the waste away.
الگوی کاربرد:
[someone] uses the toilet
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse 'toilet' (the bowl or fixture) with 'bathroom' or 'restroom' (the whole room). In American English, saying 'toilet' can sound too direct in polite conversation; 'bathroom' or 'restroom' is often preferred, especially in public places.
هممعنیها
lavatory (More formal; can refer to the fixture or the room and is more common in British English.)
|
WC (Abbreviation of “water closet”, used especially on signs; somewhat old-fashioned in speech.)

room containing a toilet
A small room with a toilet where you go to pee or poop.
الگوی کاربرد:
[someone] is in the toilet
اشتباه رایج:
Some learners say 'I need a toilet' when they mean the room; it is more natural to say 'I need to use the toilet' or 'Is there a toilet here?'. In American English, 'bathroom' or 'restroom' is often more polite than 'toilet' when talking about the room.
هممعنیها
bathroom (Very common in American English for the room, even if there is no bath.)
|
restroom (Polite term in American English, especially in public places like malls or airports.)

act of using a toilet
The act of going to pee or poop in a toilet.
الگوی کاربرد:

الگوی کاربرد:
[caregiver] toilets [someone]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may think 'toilet' as a verb is a general, everyday word. In fact, this use is mainly in medical and care contexts and should not replace normal phrases like 'use the toilet' or 'go to the bathroom' in ordinary conversation.
هممعنیها

To wash and brush an animal, usually a dog, so it is clean and looks nice.
الگوی کاربرد:

اشتباه رایج:
Learners may misunderstand this as 'make the dog use the toilet'. In this sense, it means 'wash and groom the animal', not 'teach it to use a human toilet'.
هممعنیها
groom (The most common verb for this; 'toilet' in this sense is less common and can sound technical or regional.)
|
