Lastly, in America a duvet is a type of comforter that has a removable cover. So interesting how English is different around the world!

A dooner in Australia is - called Doona because it is usually a simple quilt or cotton bag that is filled with goose or duck down (the soft feathers) - down became doon - 'dooner' & then placed into a removable cotton casing. U put it straight onto your bed with just an undersheet & your pillow. No blankets, nothing else. A comforter is usually a quilt that can also be filled with down but it tends to have quilted stitching on it & doesn't get a cover placed over it & is used as a top bedspread.

Dovet is the one where you have a cover and internals that can be separated. A comforter is one that can't be seperated.

Learned some British English when I grew up…every time when I want to say “side walk”, pavement came into my head but then when the word is at my mouth, it feels weird and I always second guess. Some other good ones: rubber/ eraser, torch/ flash light, trash/ garbage. Biscute was a good one. Took time to absorb that.

[@pawek9347]

Hi Lucy. Thanks for this video - quite interesting. You seemed surprised by some US or AU words although these were quite easy and common words. Now imagine how suprising/difficult this might be for foreigners who learn UK English and talk to an US/AU person or learn US English and come to Europe. I'm Polish working in Poland and using English for over 25 years now and I struggled quite a lot when started prefessional cooperation with an US company. Vocab they use for business is totally different from what we use in Europe, like deck (PP presentation), regroup (meet again on the same topic), recap (summary) or copy (description of a product). Maybe this will be helpfull for some of your followers. Cheers!

In america, a duvet also refers to the outside blanket casing of a feather blanket. Kind of like a very large pillow case for a feather blanket. Its enclosed on three sides and has buttons, zipper or straps on the fourth side.

I can't agree with you. As a foreigner who has always had British teachers or travelled very often to Britain, American accent has always sound less familiar to me.

For me it is totally the other way around. It could be because I am currently living in the UK. In all/any ways, the words(vocabularies) can be understood from the context itself; some times LOL 😁.

Swiss Homes have a standard complete Bathroom with everything (small Appartements only have a shower, bc a Bathtub won't fit in). In the recent Decades it became quite fashioned to also have a additional separate little Room with just a Toilet and a Sink, the "Tages-WC" ("Day-Toilet") where often also the Washingmachine/Tumbler is or the Cupboard for cleaning Utensils is located. That's for day use or Guests, so they don't have to go upstairs in the private Family-Bathroom. The "Tages-WC" is mostly located between the Entrance and the Kitchen, conveniently where it's nearest to go to.

Duvet has a cover but a comforter doesn't so not the same thing but i had to go looking for why some "comforters" had little loops or snaps or buttons at the corners. Foot path is for hiking Freeway is what i grew up calling all highways in California but toll road was used for toll paying roads of all sizes and types so that makes sense in context.

[@guccicoupons]

I've never heard of an abc store here in the states. We usually just refer to it as "the Liquor Store". Some states tend to have a lot of them, while in other states they typically just go to the grocery to get their alcohol. It depends on the states individual laws.

[@thomasf8100]

American here. I would call any comforter meant for use with a cover and no top sheet, a duvet, but something used over a top sheet, and without a cover, that is not a blanket or a quilt, I would refer to it as a comforter. Duvet also implies that it is either filled with down or a synthetic material that mimics down - something poofy, with loft to it. We definitely have duvets in the US, and most people who use them (in my experience) call them duvets, or down comforters (with the qualifier). Comforter (without the qualifier) is something with dense filling (no loft), no cover, and not hand quilted. As others have noted we also use the term woods in much of the US, and forest implies a larger wooded area, perhaps a bit wilder. In the seventies and eighties, the terms thongs and flip-flops were definitely interchangeable in the US (I would say favoring thongs), but in the nineties, thong became more associated with the undergarment and fell out of favor to refer to the footwear.

I thought that the duvet and the comforter were two different things.... for me the duvet is the one that is the type of lining that is on the outside that is filled with the quilt or duvet and that you can remove the padding to wash it in the washing machine like a sheet I don't know if I explained myself.
