Room: rùm & seòmar

What’s the difference between rùm and seòmar? 

You might see rùm written instead of seòmar. Both are loanwords. Rùm comes from the English room and seòmar comes from the French chàmbre or English chamber. 

What is the correct Gaelic word for room? 

Both seòmar and rùm are perfectly correct. Remember the concept of rooms of a house is relatively modern one!
