Dažna klaida:
Learners may think this meaning is the same as a tourist hostel. In many countries, especially in South Asia, a "hostel" is long-term student or worker housing, not a place for short-stay travelers. Learners also sometimes use "hostel" when "dorm" or "hall of residence" would be more natural in American or British campus contexts.
Sinonimai
dormitory (Common in American English for student housing; may refer to the building or the shared sleeping room.)
|
hall of residence (Mainly British English; emphasizes official university student housing and can sound more formal than "hostel".)
Antonimai
private apartment (A self-contained, private living space, unlike a hostel where facilities are shared and more regulated.)
