Understand 'les toilettes' when referring to public restrooms where there are probably more than one. But what about in homes where there is only one?

Question

Accepted Answer

Hi Jay,
'Toilettes' is always plural in French even in the home.
Other expressions you might hear is,
le/les cabinet/s    but
'les toilettes' is the most used.
'Toilette', singular, means a wash.
Le chat fait sa toilette = The cat is having a wash
Hope this helps!

Answer

This may only be my point of view, but in North America we use "washroom" - not toilets.  I wonder if salle de bain would be closer??

Answer

Hi Elizabeth, 
You will only find 'salle de bain' in a house or appartment.
