Thread: Help with common household words

I am finding multiple words for the following can someone please help with the most common words

Kitchen counter
bathroom counter
kitchen sink
bathroom sink
dishwasher
toilet
kitchen cabinets
bathroom cabinets

If i was referring to a stove with a cooktop would it be la estufa or el hormo
Thanks in advance

Counter= el mostrador
sink = el fregadero
dichvwasher = el lavaplatos
toilet = el wáter
Cabinet = el armario

and if you say "horno" then you refer to an oven...so you should say "estufa"

greetings

Kitchen counter _ mesada de la cocina
bathroom counter - mesada del baño
kitchen sink - pileta
bathroom sink - lavatorio
dishwasher - lavavajillas
toilet - baño
kitchen cabinets - placard/placares de la cocina
bathroom cabinets - placard/placares del baño

Espero te sea de ayuda

Kitchen counter = barra de la cocina
kitchen sink = fregadero
bathroom sink = lavabo
dishwasher = lavaplatos/lavavajillas
toilet = taza/inodoro
kitchen cabinets = gabinetes de la cocina
bathroom cabinets = gabinetes del baño

Hi Steve! As you can see there are many ways to name the same thing according to the country. So basically it depends on the flavor that you want to give the translation. A good way to check is using the online dictionary from the Real Academia Española.

Kitchen counter = mesada
kitchen sink = pileta
bathroom sink = lavamanos
dishwasher = lavaplatos
toilet = inodoro
cabinets = alacenas/armarios de la cocina o baño

Real Ac. Española

En España diríamos:

Kitchen counter = Encimera
bathroom counter = Repisa
kitchen sink = Fregadero
bathroom sink = Lavabo
dishwasher = Lavavajillas
toilet = Váter / Inodoro
kitchen cabinets = Armario / muebles de la cocina
bathroom cabinets = Armario del cuarto de baño

¡Has cogido unas palabras que varían mucho de un país a otro!

Julio,
Wouldn´t you say "anafe" instead of "estufa"?
