In English what is the difference between HOUSE and HOME?

 

Answers:

A house is just a structure, home is " where the heart is " i.e. it's

intangible; much like the difference between your brain and your mind.

 

Home is formal, house is familiar. Same difference as Father and Dad.

 

myself i generally refer to a house as the building and a home as the

building being lived in by people one and the same...this is my

house..I am going home..

 

House is a building which people can reside, it will become your home

once u started to live in that, in other way house will become

emotionally attached to you then it will become a home. I usually say

the properties i have where i do not reside as house.

 

A house is a dwelling place built for that purpose. A HOME, on the

other hand, is a place (whether built or not) where a person feels a

sense of belonging. Home is a place where you keep your things, where

you have some sense of security, where you can have some kind of

privacy from the outer world.

 

A house is not a human need, but a home is. Homeless people do not

have houses, but they still are driven to create some semblance of a

place to belong.

 

A home is not always a house (could be a cave or a cardboard box). A

house is not always a home (people who live with others against their

wishes will not consider their house to be " home).
