minus-square@Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•3 months agoIs this called a sink in the US? I thought the kitchen sink and the bathroom basin are the correct names, but might be UK specific…
minus-square@mrunicornman@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•3 months agoIt’s the same for us (India): “Sink” for the kitchen one and “washbasin” for the non-kitchen ones.
minus-squareJackbyDevlinkfedilinkEnglish1•3 months agoIn the US we call bathroom sinks sinks as well. I’ve heard basin before, I wouldn’t be confused by it, but it’s not really the standard. Prior to reading this I may have assumed “basin” referred to sinks that are standalone on pedestals as opposed to ones built into counter tops.
