split
Explanation:
De la "split-level houses" pentru case "in subpanta". Ar putea fi si "true split" in conditiile in care
"In a true split [the living room window] would be located a half-floor below the bedroom windows, indicating a half-flight of stairs leading up to the bedroom level."

Inclin sa cred ca este mai curand un living cu un nivel intermediar decat cu un compartiment mansardat. Multumesc.

interior mezzanine / balcony


Explanation:
Cred că asta este cea mai comună denumire în EN pentru supantă.
Mezzanine este mai mult un antresol, un etaj mai scund, situat între parter şi primul etaj. Depinde de situaţie, eu i-aş zice interior balcony pentru supanta dintr-o cameră. Mi-am făcut şi eu aşa ceva în sufragerie dar nu mi-am pus problema cum se traduce în engleză până acum.

camera in supanta
mansard room


Explanation:
vine din franceza "sous pente" sau "soupente" = mansarda

soupente = mansarda, conf. dictionar FR de sinonime

http://elsap1.unicaen.fr/cgi-bin/trouvebis2?requete=soupente...

http://atilf.atilf.fr/dendien/scripts/fast.exe?soupente

REM. Soupenté, -ée, adj., rare. En forme de soupente, ŕ toit incliné. Synon. mansardé

camera mansardata = chambre mansardé = mansard room

--------------------------------------------------

o alta soutie:

conf. dict, FR-EN "soupente" se mai traduce si ca "loft"
si atunci in cazul unui living se poate spune:

"living room with loft" : 599 aparitii pe google, 55 aparitii pe google images

iar formularea
"room with loft" : 636 aparitii pe google, 145 aparitii pe google images

neutral  Cristiana Coblis: nu se referă la mansardare, ci la compartimentarea unei încăperi prin adăugarea unui nivel parţial, nu e acelaşi lucru cu sous pente în fr.
35 mins
  -> cauta pe google imagini "sous pente" "soupente" "camera mansardata" "mansard room"
neutral  Valentin Cirdei: Cauta in GDT "sous pente" :)

  -> si pe Eurodicautom. dar nu dovedeste nimic. e alt domeniu. citeste bine definitiile de la http://atilf.atilf.fr/dendien/scripts/fast.exe?soupente ; soupente = soppalco (IT) = Hängeboden (DE) vezi Kudoz, dupa care cauta pe google imagini
