First Floor

Language Tip: First Floor

In British and South African Usage, the ground floor is the floor at the lowest street level where you enter a building and the first floor is the one above it.

 

In American English, the term ‘ground floor’ has no meaning and the floor at the lowest street level where you enter a building is referred to as the first floor.

 

What we would call the second floor would be the third floor to an American.

 

When you have American visitors, it’s useful to remember that this minor difference may cause a lot of confusion!
