Significados de Couch em português

Le mot 'couch' en anglais désigne principalement un meuble sur lequel on s'assoit, souvent rembourré, et qui est utilisé pour se détendre ou recevoir des invités. Il est couramment utilisé dans des contextes informels, notamment dans les foyers, les salons, ou les espaces de vie.

Exemples d'utilisation :

  1. "I like to relax on the couch after a long day." (J'aime me détendre sur le canapé après une longue journée.)
  2. "We watched a movie on the couch last night." (Nous avons regardé un film sur le canapé hier soir.)

Le mot peut également être utilisé dans des expressions courantes, telles que :

  • "Couch potato" : désigne une personne qui passe beaucoup de temps assise à regarder la télévision, souvent de manière passive.
  • "Couch surfing" : fait référence à l'action de dormir sur le canapé d'un ami ou d'un inconnu, souvent dans le cadre de voyages.

Le registre de langue est généralement informel, mais le mot peut être utilisé dans des contextes plus formels si nécessaire, comme dans des discussions sur l'ameublement ou la décoration intérieure.

Erreurs courantes :

  • Confondre 'couch' avec 'sofa' : bien que les deux termes désignent des meubles similaires, 'sofa' peut parfois désigner un modèle plus élégant ou formel, tandis que 'couch' est plus décontracté.
  • Utiliser 'couch' pour désigner un lit : en anglais, 'couch' ne désigne pas un lit, ce qui peut prêter à confusion.

Mots apparentés :

  • Synonymes : sofa, settee, loveseat.
  • Antonymes : chair, stool (qui désignent des sièges individuels).

Prononciation : 'Couch' se prononce /kaʊtʃ/. Il est important de noter le son 'ou' qui peut être difficile pour les francophones.

Étymologie : Le mot 'couch' vient du vieux français 'couche', qui signifie 'se coucher' ou 's'allonger', et a été intégré dans la langue anglaise au 14ème siècle.
