1. 1

    A housemate is someone you share a house with who is not in your family. You might share the kitchen, the bills, and the sitting room, but you usually each have your own bedroom. Friends, students, and young workers use it a lot for people they live with by choice, often to split the rent. Roommate is close. Though actually, in American English roommate can mean you share the same bedroom; housemate is clearer when you only share the house, not the bed and wardrobe.

    室友、合租的人(台灣口語多說室友;若要強調不同房、只合住一棟,室友仍最常用)
