الانتريه

Arabic to English Social Sciences Furniture / Household Appliances
عايزين حاجات اساسيه دلوقت زي الانتريه والعربيه

A woman from Egypt is furnishing her home and doesn't want to buy fancy things until they have the basics. I Googled الانتريه but wasn't sure if it refers to a specific room in the house, such as the living room, or to the furniture itself.

Thank you for taking the time to explain, Samaa! I appreciate it so much.
Samaa Zeitoun Dec 26, 2013:
I forgot to add that if there's more than one single sitting space, then the entree would be near the entrance while the salon would be somewhat removed to the inside or in a separate room. That's why it got that name, which is basically entrance in French (Brother Janjelo's answer).
Samaa Zeitoun Dec 26, 2013:
Hello, dear Amel. In Egypt, the word entree refers to both the living room and its furniture. The woman in your context is obviously referring to buying the furniture. The 'entree' is for receiving casual guests while the 'salon' is for more formal guests. I'm not sure if entree is with one 'e' or double 'e' at the end, not sure if it's feminine. My French is quite rusty.
