用法
- The plain, physical word for toilet/restroom - 厕所在哪儿? (cèsuǒ zài nǎr) where's the toilet?
- Blunter than 洗手间 (xǐshǒujiān) or 卫生间 (wèishēngjiān), which are the polite words you'd use in a restaurant or someone's home.
- 公共厕所 (gōnggòng cèsuǒ) = public toilet; the term itself is neutral but slightly less genteel than the 手间 forms.
