Everyone needs to pay attention here. In recent years, the words on many public toilets in China have been changed from WC to Toilet. Toilet here refers to It is a small cubicle with a toilet at home. The one on the street should be called a Public Toilet, but this usage is not very common in the United States. Usually the toilet at home is connected to the bathroom, so it is called Bathroom, while the toilet in public places is called Restroom. In addition, the squat toilet used by Asians is called Squat Toilet in English.
Restroom is a more formal term in public, but if you are at the airport or in literature, you will also see another more advanced term, lavatory restroom.
Ok Let’s learn a few expressions about the bathroom. If you are looking for a toilet in North America, ask someone directly:
Can you tell me where the toilet is?
Others may think that you really can’t hold it in anymore, or you want to Look for the toilet product in the mall. They may answer you with confusion:
"We don't sell toilet here".
If you go to a friend's house, you can say (this is a more euphemistic expression):
Excuse me, may I use your bathroom?
And If you are in a restaurant, you can ask the waiter:
Excuse me, could you please tell me where the washroom is?
If a girl wants to tactfully say to her friends that she needs to go to the toilet during a meal, she can say:
Excuse me, I need to powder my nose.
Note: Because the women’s restrooms were previously called powder rooms, they have chairs and mirrors for supplementation. Makeup, so later it became a euphemism for going to the women's room to power my nose.
Of course, if it is between good friends and you don’t need to care too much about politeness, you can just say
I need to use the toilet! My bladder is bursting.
