Hey, how are you? Let’s learn Portuguese! Today we are going to talk about the bathroom and the toilet in Portuguese.
Useful bathroom vocabulary in Portuguese
First, here’s a challenge… Can you tell us the name of the objects in the picture above? When you finish reading today’s dica, check out the answers at the bottom of the page.
Now let’s talk about your house… What is your bathroom like? Big? Small? What do you have in it? Let’s see the items we have in the bathroom in Portuguese:
O vaso sanitário e a descarga | Toilet and flush | |
Os tapetes | Mats / Rugs | |
A pia do banheiro | Bathroom sink | |
O armarinho e o espelho | Bathroom cabinet and mirror | |
A lâmpada | Light bulb | |
O chuveiro | Shower | |
A cortina do banheiro | Bathroom curtain | |
A banheira | Bathtub | |
O cesto de roupas sujas | Dirty clothes basket |
Now let’s learn how to write the names of the different utensils you can find in your bathroom. Do you have all of them in your bathroom right now?
Time to practice your pronunciation with this Video-Dica. Repeat the words after us:
Now, let’s see some structures with the items of the bathroom.
Curiosity: Did you know that in Portugal they call the toilet casa de banho. It would mean house of bath, funny right? 😛

Devemos colocar as roupas sujas no cesto.

Where is the toilet in Portuguese
One more important thing that we must teach today is how to ask where’s the bathroom in Portuguese. It’s very important to know that and we don’t want you to feel lost when you need to find a toilet. So, check out how we ask this:
Onde é o banheiro? | Where’s the toilet? |
Be sure that you are pronouncing it properly.
Now it’s your turn!
Match the names of the objects in the bathroom in Portuguese to their descriptions:
1 – Usado para lavar as mãos | Lâmpada |
2 – Usamos para ver nosso reflexo | Pia |
3 – Usamos para tomar banho e relaxar | Espelho |
4 – Usamos para ter luz | Toalha |
5 – Usamos para secar o corpo | Banheira |
That’s it. Until the next free Portuguese lesson! We hope to see you very soon, come study Portuguese in Rio!
