Howdy, iam Stacey Lopez, I hope today is better than yesterday.
Hey there! You know how in Europe they count floors differently than we do in the US? Well, it’s actually pretty interesting. You see, Europeans count their floors starting from the ground level and going up, whereas here in the US we start counting from the first floor. Crazy, right? But that’s not all - Europeans also use a different word for what we call “ground floor” - they call it “the zero floor”. Whoa! So next time you’re visiting Europe and you’re looking for a certain floor number, just remember to add one to whatever number you’re looking for. Pretty cool stuff!
How Do Europeans Count Floors? [Solved]
In Europe, the ground floor is usually labeled 0 or with the first letter of the word for “ground” (G, E, etc.). Then it goes up from there - 1, 2 and so on. Easy peasy!
- Europeans traditionally count floors in a building starting from the ground floor, which is considered the first floor. This means that the second floor is actually the first floor, and so on.
elevators
- Elevators in Europe are typically labeled with numbers instead of letters, and they usually start at 0 for the ground floor. This means that if you want to go to the third floor, you would press 3 on the elevator button.
stairs
- Stairs in Europe are also numbered differently than in other parts of the world. The bottom step is usually considered 0 or 1 depending on where you are located, and each step up is counted as one more number until you reach your desired destination.
Europeans count floors differently than Americans do - they start at the ground floor and count up, whereas in the US, we start at the first floor. So if you’re visiting Europe and you hear someone say they live on the third floor, don’t be confused - it’s just a different way of counting!
