Lithuanian term or phrase: dvibutis namas
Kaip verstumėte dvibutis namas? Vertimas turėtų derėti prie termino vienbutis namas.

duplex
Explanation:
vienbutis namas = house, ne nieko daugiau

"Is it a house or a duplex?"

Jei jau būtinai, galima pridėti: stand-alone – "a stand-alone house".

Atsiprašau, antra nuoroda turėjo būti ši:

Kaip minėjau, vienbutis bus „detached house“, bandžiau įdėti kitą nuorodą, atsiprašau už netvarką :-)

Asker: O tai jeigu semi-detached house dvibutis, tai kaip tuomet vienbutis?

agree  diana bb: Kiek name yra butų - tai jau paildoma sąlyga ar informacija, kurios mes neturime, todėl bendriausias variantas, mano manymu, yra 'semi-detached house'. Tarp kito, blokuotų namų eilės galinis namas nevadinamas semi-detached - jis yra 'end of terrace house'

disagree  Inga Jokubauske: detached house yra namas, kuris stovi vienas. Semi-detached - viena siena ribojasi su kaimyniniu namu. Kiek jame butų? Gali būti vienas, du ar trys. Terraced house - dvi sienos ribojasi su kaimynais. Terraced namų eilės kraštinis namas irgi semi-detached.

  -> Tiksliausiai galėtų pasakyti gyvenantieji anglakalbėse šalyse. Tačiau internete Jūsų minėtus kelis subl. namus vadina "terraced house" (žr. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraced_house), o dvibučius - "semi-detached" arba 'duplex', kaip sako Gintautas

Asker: Internete dar esu radusi tokių terminų kaip one-family housing, two-family housing, a single-family house, one flat house, detached single-unit housing, kalbant apie vienbučius ir dvibučius namus, bet neaišku kiek šios sąvokos yra artimos pagal reikšmę.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Inga Jokubauske: Taip pat puikus varijantas, tik JK rinkoj praktiškai nevartojamas, pvz., jei namas pardavinėjamas. Pritariu, kad vienbutis - tiesiog "house".

House consisting of two (self-contained) flats


Explanation:
Detached house, semi-detached house, terraced house, maisonette, mansion, cottage, block of flats ir pan. yra namų pavadinimai, nenurodantys, kiek juose yra butų.

Siūlyčiau "a house consisting of two (self-contained) flats", galimas varijantas būtų ir "a house with two flats".

Example sentence(s):
  • A three bed semi-detached house consisting of two flats within the property.
  • detached house with two flats
