Question Which is which?

1.) Los muchachos ven la televisión en _______________.
2.) Los padres hablan con sus amigos en _________________.

Words to use in these blanks:
*la sala
*la sala de estar

Which would best fit in each blank?
Would la sala be in #2? and la sala de esta #1? I'm just making sure.

You're right, la sala is often the dining room (also salón) and la sala de estar is the living room.

See also salita, a lobby/hall

Sala de estar is the place where the tv and the fireplace are.

Salon is the dining room, big table, a painting, a china closet.

Sala is usually a short for sala de estar.

Anyway, house words are used very differently in different places. For instance, first time I hear 'family room' :-)

Don't worry I never said that you have used that as your homework, only I suppose that you was doing your homework, but anyway you apologize me.
