Hello. I'm a student of Eurasian Linguistic University in Russia and I'm working on a paper on the concept 'home". I need native speakers' associations with the words "home" and "house". As I don't have any friends Canada, your associations would help me out.
:smile:Could you answer the question,please: what associations do you have with the words "home" and "house"? Thank you!

:D Thank you for your fine gesture and although you are basically the first person giving me the finger I consider it a warm welcome:)
House MD is also what I'm looking for - an association. I just want associations for both words - "home" and "house"

House is just the physical structure, home is the physical structure plus the ambience, plus the yard, lawn, gardens and the character, mood etc. of the denizens. In short it's the environment. Where do you hale from?

I'm sorry I first missed your question. I'm from Irkutsk in Siberia. Foreigners usually visit Irkutsk to see lake Baikal, that is not far from here.

welcome piggy!

I remember Irkutsk as a territory we could take over with rolls of the dice in the game RISK.


Papa was a rolling stone
wherever he laid his hat was his home
and when he died
all he left us was alone

A home is any permanent or semi-permanent dwelling place for a person, people, tribe, animal or animals. A home could be an actual dwelling, like a house or a nest. But it could also be a geographical area, such as a village, town, city, county or country.

A house is a building that functions as a home for humans and/or other creatures. These range from rudimentary dwellings, such as a mud hut, to a huge block of flats.

A house is where you live, eat, sleep, and have shelter. A home is what I said plus you are welcomed with unconditional love, open arms, warmth, passion and understanding. However the best discription is as Blackleaf said "HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS", is says it all.
