Toilet Vocabulary - Free Spoken English Lesson
One of the most useful things you can learn in English language is how to ask for the toilet! As they say, when you gotta go, you gotta go. You have always been confused by the terms washroom, restroom, bathroom, lavatory, toilet and toilet room. I guess the difference here is not only in different kinds of English words, but also in whether one is referring to a room in their house or in some public place.
The flush toilet,
The most common type of toilet found, sends waste through a series of pipes that lead to a sewer system and eventually a waste treatment plant or septic tank.
Squat Toilet
Common in Turkish and Japanese households, this toilet looks like a porcelain hole in the floor that individuals have to hover over, with their knees bent in a squat position.
Lavatory / Toilet –
A room equipped with washing and often toilet facilities.
Loo / Bog –
The word 'loo' is quite polite and is a slang.
Khazi/ Latrines –
