How to use it
Baño means 'bathroom' (the room) and 'bath' (the act). Masculine: el baño. The ñ is essential. Tomar un baño = take a bath; ir al baño = use the toilet.
Common mistake
For 'going to the toilet' Spanish uses 'voy al baño' or 'voy al servicio'. Direct request: '¿dónde está el baño?' (NOT 'el toilet').
