The holiday cottage exists in many cultures under different names. In American English, "cottage" is one term for such holiday homes, although they may also be called a "cabin", "chalet", or even "camp". In certain countries (e.g. Scandinavia, Baltics, and Russia) the term "cottage" has local synonyms: In Finnish "mökki", in Estonian "suvila", in Latvian "vasarnīca", in Livonian sõvvõkuodā, in Swedish "stuga", in Norwegian "hytte" (from the German word "Hütte"), in Czech "chata" or "chalupa", in Russian "дача" ("dacha", which can refer to a vacation/summer home, often located near a body of water).
