> controls the fan on the toilet Huh... what?

• teekert 6y ago
  Maybe in English I should say toilet space? What the word for the small room?

    Bathroom (even when it doesn't contain a bathtub or shower).
    • teekert 6y ago
      Ah, yeah haha I had some doubts because I also use the word bathroom for the room where the bath (and shower) actually are (humidity is only relevant there). I see now that that is also called a bathroom, irrespective of the presence of a toilet. TIL :)

    Ah this makes sense. I was sitting here trying to imagine a fan that is integral to the toilet itself.

      Higher end bidet toilets have fans to dry your ass after washing. Not what the OP was talking about, but it's a thing that exists.

    your english is fine; the problem is american.

      "on" seems to be clearly the wrong preposition regardless of country of origin.
      • teekert 6y ago
        What would you use? In would for me be "in the bowl" :). Which incidentally in my country does not mean it will get wet, another cultural difference ;)

          In British English "toilet" can refer to either the room or the device in the room, depending on context. So if you said "the fan in the toilet" I would understand it to be a fan in the room, and if you said "the water in the toilet" I would understand it differently.

            Same same in Dutch.
