floor of a fireplace
The hard floor in and in front of a fireplace where the fire burns and the ashes fall.
Padron ng paggamit:
to sit by the hearth
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes confuse "hearth" with "heart" because they look similar. "Hearth" is about a fireplace; "heart" is the organ in your body or the center of your feelings. Some learners also use "hearth" to mean any heater or stove, but it specifically refers to the floor area of a fireplace.
Mga kasingkahulugan
fireplace (Usually refers to the whole structure in the wall where a fire is made, not just the floor in front of it.)
|
fireside (Focuses on the area beside the fire and the cozy atmosphere, not specifically the hard floor surface.)
Mga kasalungat
outdoors (Being outside, away from the indoor area where a fireplace and hearth are found.)

home and family life
Someone’s home and family life, seen as a warm and safe place.
Padron ng paggamit:
to leave hearth and home
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners may use this sense in very casual, modern speech where it can sound strange or old-fashioned. In everyday talk, people normally say "home" or "family" instead of "hearth." Also, do not confuse "hearth and home" with "heart and home"; only "hearth and home" is correct.
Mga kasingkahulugan
home (More general and common; does not automatically suggest warmth and family in the same strong, traditional way.)
|
household (Focuses on the people living together and their shared life; less emotional and poetic than "hearth.")
Mga kasalungat
wilderness (Suggests a place far from houses and family life, the opposite of the safety and comfort of the hearth.)
