casa -feminine noun (la), house, home. Look up casa in the dictionary

¿Cuál es la casa más rara que has visto?
What is the strangest house you have ever seen?

Some expressions:
- En casa del herrero, cuchillo de palo.
- El casado casa quiere.
- Cada uno en su casa y Dios en la de todos.
Hope you enjoy those ones. No se me ocurre nada más, no estoy muy inspirada hoy. But I'll keep on :thinking:

En casa del herrero, cuchillo de palo (In the blacksmith's house: a wooden knife)
English version: The shoemaker's children go barefoot.

El casado casa quiere.
Married people need a home of their own.

Cada uno en su casa y Dios en la de todos.
Each to his own and God watching over everyone.

Eres una máquina, Rusty.

Here's one that everyone's heard (in the US):
Mi casa es su casa.
Make yourself at home.

Another English expression: to be housebound. A tough one to translate...

Housebound = homebound = being confined to the house all day
confinado en casa

Homebound can also mean that you're heading home, as in de camino a casa.

I like your translation. And how would you say bedridden in Spanish?

echado en la cama
en reposo médico
encamado
postrado en cama :good:

Y puedes añadir por la enfermedad, por la vejez, a causa del accidente, etc.

I've always used encamado for bedridden.
