Definition
寒舍 is a humble expression (谦词) that you use to refer to your own home when speaking politely to others. It's like saying 'my humble abode' in English — never use it to refer to someone else's house. This term adds a self-deprecating, respectful tone and is common in formal invitations or when receiving guests.
n.
my humble home (polite term for one's own house)
