right so lads, I'm from ireland, he's from england. he says sofa i say couch. WHICH IS IT?
I'm WELSH and I say SOFA!
They BOTH are considered the same thing ... I think it's all in how you were taught. Both are proper, but I, personally, like to call it a SOFA ... sounds more sophisticated! Most furniture advertisements call it a Sofa ... have you ever heard of a place selling a Couch Loveseat? I haven't ... they always refer to it as a Sofa Loveseat.
It really doesn't matter what you use. In america, we use both. I'm sure different parts of the UK would say couch or sofa. Even in other languages, they have two words for a couch/sofa, like in italian il sofa' /il divano.
they're used interchangeably.
