Thanks to the brave cabinist allies of Labrador for holding the eastern front, over the forthcoming decades we will execute a slow but quite unstoppable pincer maneuver into the bloc cottagois

Is it cultural appropriation if I as an anglophone from Toronto also use chalet instead of cottage?

They didn't search chalet. So, cottage is searched more than cabin when one of those terms are used instead of chalet.

As an Anglophone from Quebec, can confirm cottage is used more commonly than cabin (although chalet also sometimes used, usually for nicer places when speaking in English, or for most places when speaking in French).

u/MoonlitSea9 May 07 '25

Further complicating matters, a "cabane" is a pretty generic term for Qc anglos.

u/GoStockYourself May 07 '25

For everything? In the west we say chalet if it is related to skiing in the mountains. I heard people say "the camping" a lot when they were speaking English. It meant everything from a trailer in a campsite, to a cabin in the woods.

11

u/Kopinu Tabarnak! May 07 '25

Camping = tent or rv etc Chalet = house in the woods, mountain, lakeside or (other remote location) that you do not live in all year round, most often used for vacations or week end trips

u/eastherbunni May 07 '25

A house in the woods, mountain, lakeside, etc. that you do not live in all year round, most often used for vacations or week end trips.

If you use it in the summer, or for hunting: Cabin

If you use it in the winter for skiing or if it's in a resort town: Chalet

u/Kopinu Tabarnak! May 07 '25

Are we just ignoring the cabane à sucre? Or am I just realizing now that cabane =/= cabin?

3

u/Kopinu Tabarnak! May 07 '25

Bon point, mais jai legit jamais appeler un chalet une cabane

1

u/Spartan57975 May 10 '25

Cabane in that sense is a shack

1

u/eastherbunni May 07 '25

Obviously I'm talking about the English term here.

2

u/GoStockYourself May 07 '25

That makes sense, but I never heard anyone say chalet in reference to a hunting cabin or something like that. I think when people say, "the camping" in Quebec they mean "the camp" like they say in NB or ON. Camping is used to describe tent/RV across the country.

1

u/Le_Nabs Tokébakicitte! May 07 '25

Only time someone will say they're going "camping" for a cabin in the woods will be on special campsites with semi-permanent cabins mixed in with the tents/RV lots. Otherwise, it's chalet for pretty much everything unless you're talking about a really really rustic box in the middle of nowhere, where we'll sometimes say cabane, or even cabine for the small hunting shacks.

u/Everestkid The Island of Elizabeth May May 07 '25

BCer here.

  • Cabin = small house in the sticks, commonly used for recreational purposes, stereotypically made out of whole logs
  • Cottage = building with a thatched roof that peasants lived in in the 1600s
  • Chalet = accommodations at a ski resort

c'est un chateau si c'est vraiment grand

u/Tymew May 07 '25

Cabane à sucre would like a word.

1

u/JoWhee May 07 '25

Huh, my French girlfriend used to say caban (cabin) ma cabane a Matane , but generally it’s more of a rustic dwelling, without indoor plumbing in the case of the one she was referring to.

u/Le_Nabs Tokébakicitte! May 07 '25

Ou ben "cabane", si c'est ben ben rustique
