rooms
word · lemma: room
Definition
Rooms are separate parts inside a building, usually divided by walls, each used for a different purpose such as sleeping, cooking, or working. The word can also mean available space for people or things.
Usage & Nuances
As the plural of 'room', it commonly refers to physical parts of a home or building: 'bedrooms', 'meeting rooms', 'hotel rooms'. In expressions like 'there’s no room' or 'make room', it means space, not a specific room. 'Room' is usually more general than 'bedroom' and often more natural than 'chamber' in everyday English.
