3 +2 | western style, 9.72m² |

western style, 9.72m² Explanation: 「洋」 means 「洋室」, a western-style room, as opposed to 「和室」, a Japanese style room (with tatami, fusuma, etc.). 洋室 therefore refers to Western decor, e.g. a room carpeted with skirting boards and wallpapered with Western patterns. 6 means 6畳, a standard size in Japan along with 4½. 1畳 is 900 x 1800mm, so 6畳 is 1.62 x 6 = 9.72m². -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 25 mins (2010-05-23 19:03:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://oshiete.goo.ne.jp/qa/560934.html I would maybe add "approx." after 9.72m² or round it up to 10m² approx. since, apparently, the exact measurement of 1畳 can vary from region to region (or I guess from developer to developer – maybe that's how they make more money!). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 28 mins (2010-05-23 19:05:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- FOR 6 means 6畳, a standard size READ 6 means 6畳, a standard room size |
