indoor open place for a fire
A special open place built into a wall inside a room where you make a fire to warm the room or for decoration.
用法パターン：
a fireplace in [a room/place]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes confuse "fireplace" with "stove" or "oven". A fireplace is an open place in a wall where you see the fire, usually in a living room, while a stove or oven is for cooking in a kitchen. Some learners also say *"fireplace place"*, which is redundant; just say "fireplace".
