Room by room

Every Brazilian house tour covers the same ground. Note the gender of each room — the possessive follows it: o meu quarto, a minha cozinha.

Room English You'll find…
a sala living room o sofá (sofa), a televisão (TV)
a cozinha kitchen a geladeira (fridge), o fogão (stove), a mesa (table)
o quarto bedroom a cama (bed), o armário (wardrobe)
o banheiro bathroom o chuveiro (shower)
a varanda balcony, veranda a rede (hammock)
o jardim garden a churrasqueira (barbecue)

Wherever there's a mesa, there are cadeiras (chairs). And o banheiro is also the polite everyday word for the toilet.
