🇬🇧 В чём разница между knee и lap

Hey English learners! 👋 Ever get "knee" and "lap" confused? You're not alone! These two words can be tricky, but don't worry, we've got you covered. 💪
🤔 What's the difference? 🤔
• Knee: Your knee is the joint in the middle of your leg. 🦵сустав, соединяющий верхнюю и нижнюю часть ноги
• Lap: Your lap is the flat area formed when you're sitting down, from your waist to your knees. верхняя часть ног, параллельная полу в положении сидя
🤯 Still confused? Think of it this way:
• You can bend your knee.
bend knees - сгибать колени
on hands and knees - на четвереньках
• You can hold something in your lap.
Слово laptop - ноутбук - состоит из двух слов: lap (колени) + top (верх). То есть laptop - это как раз то, что ставится сверху на колени.
