    cho em ké 1 chút ^^
    nói đơn giản thì "home" giống như là mái nhà, tổ ấm, còn "house" thì chỉ đơn giản là 1 ngôi nhà ( tức là nó mang ý nghĩa về giá trị vật chất nhiều hơn).
    đấy là theo em hiểu thì như thế.
    hi vọng là đúng.
    ^^

    Of course, you are not really right when you said like your written above but you are also not wrong when using that in some cases.

    Yes, very true. Our home is where we live. Our home could be a house, an apartment, or under a bridge. My home is my place in the world, as your home is yours.

    A house is simply a type of building.
