Record 3 1983-03-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Urban Planning
OBS

To rent a room or rooms to. Thus, "to lodge" is synonymous with "to house", when temporary living quarters are provided or occupied at no cost, and corresponds to the meaning of "to room" when a rent is charged or paid out. Note that no such distinction exists in French(...)

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aménagement urbain
OBS

Contrairement à "to lodge" employé comme synonyme du verbe transitif "to room", le terme "loger" ne peut à lui seul rendre la notion de location dont il est question ici. On peut employer "loger" là où ce sens se dégage du contexte; autrement, il faut avoir recours à une locution telle que "prendre des locataires".
