What do you call the sitting room?

[dllavaneras]

We call it "sala", which would be the equal of living room, I guess

Living room. Fancy couch, claw-foot table, doilies everywhere, photos of everyone, fancy bowl with candy that never gets eaten.

"Frunch-room"...yes, I'm from Chicago.

Also acceptable: sitting-room

Now the room with the tv, where you hang out is called the "den" or "family-room"

x2 for frunchroom, which somehow derives from front room. It's all about the bungalow home bitches!

In my apartment, the family room is the frontroom, since it's our main living area. My girlfriend comes from New Orleans, so it's somehow the "parlor"? We conflict all the time, but I tell her to check her location.

Well my house has a family room and a living room. The family room has a TV, fireplace, and is less formal. The living room is more formal, having a piano, a fancier fireplace, and more fancy furniture. No one ever goes in the living room though and the fireplace is completely useless because its not really designed well to have a fire in it. My mom is considering switching the two rooms a little bit because the family room has like 18ft ceilings and all the TV sound is inaudible on the first floor and sounds very loud upstairs. The living room has like probably 12ft ceilings (a few feet higher than normal) so the sound would be more contained.

Then there is the bonus/rec/romp/room over the garage/??? room. I call it "The ROG" (room over the garage)

We have a "Living Room", which has a fireplace, and the dogs aren't allowed in there, so it's a place to relax and have a nice chat with company. Also, the kids aren't allowed to play in there or bring any food in there. It tends to stay neat and orderly for the most part, except when housing the Christmas Tree and subsequent unwrappings as it did not so long ago.

We also have a "Family Room", which contains the TV and is where we tend to hang out as a family for TV, board games, and other fun stuff. It tends to stay a little messier with some toys, the baby's jumper, etc.

Except for the owning a dog part, sounds like my parents' house. They call the former the "Nice Living Room" and the latter the "Living Room".

We just have one room, which would fit the aforementioned "Family Room" defiinition, but we call it the "Living Room"
