In Mexico, "W.C." is only used for signs in public buildings. People doesn't really use it in daily speech.

Me han dico is close, I think. Also "se dice" is very similar.

In Spain I've mostly heard public restroom referred to as "aseos" in Mexico "servicios". And I've seen this labeled this way rather than as baño. I was also told bano was mostly for a home type setting, rather than in public.

Not necessarily. Although one tends to use "baños" (in plural) in public places, if one asks "¿dónde está el baño?" in a public place, it's perfectly natural and well understood. (At least in Mexico.)

You could ask to use their "facilities" but that might even be more confusing. I confused me the first time someone asked using that term.

Yes I use the bathroom word in my country.

I don't know if there're other uses in other different country to mine, already I need to know what is it uses in this case.

Bathroom (Baño). I don't know if that inclusive I can use that as Tocador.


Sincerely yours.
