Starting this week with an important word😉☝🏼

Restroom. 卫生间 wèishēngjiān!

卫生间 wèishēngjiān • restroom, WC


卫生 wèishēng – hygiene
间 jiān – room

❗Note that the word 厕所 (cèsuǒ, toilet), that many textbooks teach us, is too descriptive, so you’d hear native speakers use 卫生间 more often!

There is another word that you might hear – 洗手间 (“wash-hand(s)-room”). But wèishēngjiān is enough to get around 🙂
