Hello,
We say a "dining room". What does we should call the table? I have heard both "dinner table" and "dining table". Are they exactly the same thing?
For some reason, I feel like "dining table" refers to the table as a piece of furniture.
We have just bought a new wooden dining table.
I left my key on the dining table.
But with "dinner table", I usually here it in phrases like "dinner table conversation". Is there a "dining table conversation"?
Or this small difference is just purely my imagination?
Best regards,
Nawee
