H8
How many rooms are bedrooms?
¿Cuántos de estos cuartos son dormitorios?
This question served to clarify the intent of question H7. Many respondents interpreted the word
cuartos in H7 to mean bedrooms, and question H8 helped them realize that cuartos was being
used in a more general sense. Some respondents thought that asking question H8 before question
H7 may help clarify the difference between bedrooms and rooms. In essence, the sequence
would be as follows:
H8: ¿Cuántos dormitorios hay en esta casa, hogar, or apartamento?
H8:
How many bedrooms are in this house?
H7: A parte de esos <3> dormitorios, ¿cuántos cuartos mas hay en esta casa?
Incluya salas, cocinas, etc.
H7:
In addition to those <3> bedrooms, how many other rooms are there? Include living
rooms, kitchens, dens, etc.
