(apartment) separating ceilings Explanation: If one needs the "Wohnung" then one could make it "room separating ceilings" or "apartment separating ceilings". But I think this is confusing, because a ceiling always separates two spaces, rooms or apartments. I think the shorter version is stronger. I've checked Ernst and Google, and the German term does not seem to exist. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2020-10-14 15:55:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hello Wendy, Google should be relatively up-to-date, no? But anyway, your finding the German term still doesn't get us nearer to a verified translation of that term. ;o( |

UK: partitioned maisonette floors and ceilings Explanation: I had- wrongly again - assumed someone else was going to come up with a partitioning answer. The layout would suggest a UK-type masionette or US-type-condo partitioned top-down rather than sideways, as in the first web ref. 'I don't this a defined term exists for this in English' - architecturally, must be one or even two or more - see the second Springer weblink for the second example sentence. Example sentence(s):
