Is that a flat? I don't understand British talk If it's part of a building instead of a whole house then it's a flat, so I'm guessing that's the same as an apartment.

Flat is used in British English, and apartment is used in North American English. The exact meaning of the word apartment depends on where you live. In large parts of Canada and in or near New York City, it is used for a residence in a multi-unit building; this meaning is the one given by OALD, and is a synonym of the British word flat. In most of the rest of the U.S. and on the West Coast of Canada, the word apartment is reserved for a rented residence in a multi-unit building; if the residences in the building are individually owned, they are called condos. As Ben Hocking says in his comment, an apartment doesn't have to be on just one story (although the majority of them are). But if you live in a multistory residence which doesn't have anything either above or below your unit, even though there are residences attached on both sides, this is more commonly called a townhouse. If there are just two residences in the same building, you have a duplex. http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/33622/flat-vs-apartment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
