تترجم الكلمة إلى مجلس، وهو مصطلح مشهور في السعيدة، والمجلس هو مكان الجلوس والاجتماع لعقد ندوات وسهرات أو اجتماعات اجتماعية أو ثقافية أو أدبية. ويقابله في الكويت "الديوانية".

الإجابة المختارة هنا ليست صحيحة لأن المجلس هنا يعني مكان الجلوس لعقد ندوات وأمسيات، ويقابله في الكويت الديوانية، وللأسف تم إدخال مصطلح خاطئ في المسرد.
