How to use 厨房
厨房 is the everyday word for a kitchen in a home, restaurant, or office. It often appears with 在 (zài) to say where someone is. Example: 妈妈在厨房做饭。(Māma zài chúfáng zuò fàn.) Mom is cooking in the kitchen.
厨 (chú) means cooking or a kitchen, and 房 (fáng) means a room. Put them together and you get the cooking room, 厨房 (chúfáng), the kitchen.
Common mistake: Learners often write 厨 with the wrong outer part, using 广 instead of 厂, so check that the simplified form is 厨 and not the traditional 廚. Also keep the second tone on both syllables, chú and fáng, rather than saying chǔfáng.
