Comment on It must confuse English learners to hear phrases like, "I'm home", instead of "I am at home." We don't say I'm school, or I'm post office.

  Can confirm for German (“das Zuhause” - “ich bin Zuhause”)

    Confirming for Romanian:

    • house = casă
    • home = acasă
    • i’m home = sunt acasă
    • i’m at school = sunt la şcoală

    Home is probably special :)

    okay, so this means the word ‘home’ is actually special accross languages 😆.

    and not neccessairly the home as homeland like haza in hungarian ('cause that’s not even a noun (tho it is somewhat equivalent with home)), home like… your home.
