Mi a különbség a flat és az apartment között?

Az apartment általában nagyobb épületen belül van. Gondolok itt arra ahol kb 50 lakás van. A flat az egy kisebb házon belül van. Angliában gyakori, hogy egy nagy viktorianus haz 3 emeletét osztják fel 3 lakásnak. Ezeket flat-nek mondják.

Hotelek szokták az apartment szót használni amikor egy lakó részt adnak ki nem csak egy szobát.

Apartment: amerikai angol

Flat: brit angol

Mindkettő ugyanúgy lakást jelent.

Both words refer to a self-contained residential unit with its own front door, kitchen, toilet, and bathroom. In some parts of the world, the word apartment refers to a purpose-built unit in a building, whereas the word flat means a converted unit in an older building, usually a big house.[citation needed] In other places the terms are interchangeable.

The term apartment is favored in North America (although in some cities flat is used for a unit which is part of a house containing two or three units, typically one to a floor[1][citation needed]). In the UK, the term apartment is more usual in professional real estate and architectural circles where otherwise the term flat is used commonly, but not exclusively, for an apartment on a single level (hence a 'flat' apartment).

A condominium, often shortened to condo in the United States and in most Canadian provinces, is a type of living space similar to an apartment but independently sellable and therefore regarded as real estate. The condominium building structure is divided into several units that are each separately owned, surrounded by common areas that are jointly owned. Condominiums are a type of common-interest development (CID). Similar concepts in other English-speaking countries include strata title in Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, and the Canadian province of British Columbia; commonhold in the United Kingdom; and sectional title in South Africa.

Hát, ha legközelebb angol könyvet olvasok, ahol a nyomorról, bűnözésről szó esik, és emlegetik a council flat-et, akkor tudom, hogy azt nem is angol írta.

De lehet, hogy ez egy viktoriánus ház.
