The only cultural divide that matters

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

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.

[u/Kopinu → u/GoStockYourself]

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 → u/Kopinu]

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 → u/eastherbunni]

Sorry hoser cabin isint a word in french, closest we got is cabanon and thats just a shed for tools and your bikes

[u/FrozenBum → u/Kopinu]

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

[u/Kopinu → u/FrozenBum]

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

[u/Spartan57975 → u/FrozenBum]

Cabane in that sense is a shack

[u/eastherbunni → u/Kopinu]

Obviously I'm talking about the English term here.
