Reference: 一棟の建物 (entire building) Reference information: It is my understanding that in cases where apartments are involved, the word "entire" is very important. It signifies that you are talking about the entire building, within which one apartment or multiple apartments are located. For example, if you are talking about the sale of one apartment unit, but you have to give information about the building that houses that one unit, then including the word "entire" would not only be preferred, it would be absolutely necessary. This is, of course, to let the reader know you are talking not about the individual apartment, but the entire building. |
