minus-squareMacaroni_ninja@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·17 days 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-squaremrunicornman@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·17 days agoIt’s the same for us (India): “Sink” for the kitchen one and “washbasin” for the non-kitchen ones.
minus-squareJackbyDev@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·17 days 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.
