Foreigners call this "ground floor"

You could have a building where the ground floor was just the ground and you didn't have to build a specific floor. That's why it's the ground floor.

You could not have a building where the first floor is already there for you; you have to make it. That's why the first floor up from the ground floor, the first of the floors that you actually have to build, is the first floor.

We also call it rez-de-chaussée

No, it's on the ground. That's why people say "on the ground floor" instead of "in the ground floor".

It's simple, the ground floor is the neutral level that you are always at (0), if you go up your are at +1, if you go down you are at -1

Why are Western Euros like this

And if you buy a house with 2 floors already and start build one under ground? Is that first flood under the second air floor and first air floor?

Everything is on the ground. Your mom is on the ground. You don't call her the ground mom, do you? This is so retarded.

what is цoкoльный?

How do lifts (or elevators) work in countries that don't use ground floor as zero?
Do you use different systems depending on whether you are above or below ground level?

you build the first floor on the ground floor.

Underground floor or basement basically

We call it the "lower", (bajo) and the 2nd floor the first. I don't agree with it either

That's retarded. By that logic the century between 0 AD and 100 AD would be the "0 century" instead of the first century and a 365 days old baby would be 0 years old. In short, it's a building, not a ruler or an XY graphic.

No, that's a basement

We call it pritličje, so something like "place by the ground". Calling it the first floor makes no sense.

Just think. This country put the first man in to space once.

>you buy a three-storey house and dig out a cellar underneath the ground floor
The ground floor is the ground floor. The first floor is the first floor. The second floor is the second floor. The cellar is the cellar.

It's not about the order that floors are built in. It's about the number of floors away from the ground floor. The point is that the ground floor is special because it exists (in a usable, though these days typically not finished, form) before you even build anything, so it's not really a "floor" in the same sense as floors that must be specifically built are. You have to put solid material in otherwise empty space to make a floor, and you have to excavate to make a cellar, but you don't have to do either for the ground floor.

So you admit your way is illogical?

>-1
We just call it basement, or underground floor 1, underground floor 2, etc (or parking lot).

Why are Western Euros so obsessed with saying as little words as possible?

Anglos are ground people, if the building is only one floor it just doesn't exists as it's zero

>a 365 days old baby would be 0 years old
A baby turns one, not two, on his first birthday.

No the logic comes from building in the medieval ages in cities.

People have houses without floors. Later they expanded them building a first floor on top. Then they grew further with a second floor.

the floor that's half-way under the ground

>underground floor 1
So the first floor down from the ground you start at 1, but the first floor up from the ground you start at 2? That doesn't make any sense.

It's called a bungalow.

Anglos don't have first born kid, they have ground born kid

German explained it more concisely and with the historical version of my abstract explanation:

This, everything else is objectively retarded

We do that too.

Make up your mind. Are they steps or stairs?

We actually count parking lots from the bottom (so the deepest one would be parking lot 1, the following one would parking lot 2, etc).
I forgot Euros are still stuck in the Middle Ages mentally, my bad.

anything else is retarded

It's okay, we don't begrudge you for being stuck in the African savannah culturally and genetically.

but we dont say floor to it. its 1. Stock, 2. Stock wich could be translated as 1. stack, 2. stack etc. because you stack up additional floors. we only count what you added.

And the first stair is resting on 0 or -1? It would be the latter according to your retarded logic

Yeah but thats not the point. Those are still steps. The floor before the stairs isnt part of that, its the ground. Therefore first floor and ground floor

First step is the ground step, then there's the first step, second step... and finally the loft step.

The first step is not resting on another step, though. Your question is nonsensical.

Yeah, and his first year of life is the one that ends when he is 365 days old i.e. the time between being 0 years old and 1 year old. If the floor logic were to be applied to his age, the time between being 0 years old and 1 year old would ve the "ground year" and the time between being 1 year old and 2 years old would be his "first year". Or is the space between the ground floor (or "0" if that's what you wanna call it) and the ceiling above it not a floor?

Wie have
Erdgeschoss (ground floor)
1-8127367142 Stock (1. floor upwards)
Also: 1-76125364 Obergeschoss (also 1. floor upwards)
1-87126354 Untergeschoss ( 1. underfloor downwards )
Or just Keller (if there is only one underfloor like in most houses)
Then there is Dachgeschoss (The floor of the ceiling)

We call it "přízemí" aka "at the ground". First floor fags should hang.

No it's resting on the ground, the thing we walk on every day.

And even the desert boongs are more interesting than Congolombians.

Ground floor makes sense.

What doesn't make sense is calling the floor above that the 1st floor. It should go ground floor > 2nd floor > 3rd floor etc

there is not a step there, am I supposed to enumerate the void?
In case of steps the ground is not a step. I don't enumerate things of different nature. In case of floors, the ground floor is a floor. I enumerate things of the same nature.

which is not a step, so asking what number it has is nonsensical in the context of enumerating steps

But it is the first floor.

You're confusing floors with storeys. The ground floor is the floor of the first storey. The first floor is the floor of the second storey. The storey is the space; the floor is the floor. So the storey is the year of life and the floor is the age.

Steps only exist within the context of the ground though.

How can steps be real if grounds aren't?

Ah, yes Jack, do tell me how the Australian rite of passing onto adulthood consists of going to the doctor's office at 10 years old and being diagnosed with skin cancer, such an interesting culture indeed.

So you agree that the ground is a void step, a void floor, and the ground floor is the "void" floor, the zeroth floor, not the first floor.

No? See We happen to use le ground floor meme here too btw

It's one of the few things they got right, that and separating decimals with a period and not a comma.

Wrong:

did you miss the part about the nature of things?
the "ground step" is NOT a step, it is just ground
the "ground floor" IS a floor and, therefore, it gets a number
your step to floor analogy does not work

When I walk around I take steps. I step on the ground, and I step on steps. There's a difference between stepping on the ground and stepping on steps, just like there's a difference between having a floor on the ground and having a floor up high.

>the "ground floor" IS a floor and, therefore, it gets a number
And that number is 0. But since zeroth is a bitch to pronounce, it is called the ground floor.

Maybe when skin cancer and climate change wipe you out we could give the country back to the Aboos, at least they won't dump their trash onto what's left of the great coral reef.

Floor is what you are standing on.

in my building the first level is the ground floor, and the second level is for personal storage, and doesn't have a number.
third level is floor 1.

Guys, I think I'll have an entire bottle of wine but that's ok, it won't get me drunk because it's the ground bottle. Only once I pop open the next bottle, I'll be having my "first bottle".

No one counts things starting at zero

t. skin cancer country

You need to look back into history where the ground floor truly was just ground. That's why it's called the ground floor. The first floor was the one on the second level of the house.

Works like a numberline you thick cunts

At worst we will lose a little ecological diversity and the coastal cities will start having water shortages (good thing most of the population lives in the Andes) and maybe kill the few white people left in this country.

But you? you are done for, Cumskin, this is the end of the line for you, I'd be happy if it wasn't because I know cancer is such a painful disease and unlike you, I am not a Bog*n psycho, enjoy the few years of Firstie life you have left.

Literally everyone does when it concerns movement.

We've all seen the Russian countryside. You're not in a position to tell people they're in the caveman era.

>still stuck in the cavemen era
That's where our languages come from.
Yours too. Not my problem that Russian didn't build houses until recently and don't have their own metric for it.
