Discussion

Scott Evan Andrews Sep 3, 2011:
I think the point is being missed. We were given a word to translate, and Hall covers in my opinion the general meaning enough to be that one word response. Of course there are auditoriums and amphitheaters perhaps, but you never see answerers giving exhaustive lists of potential translations for every new question, that would be absurd and defeat the purpose. I hear Sal I think Hall, I hear Puska I think Rifle but nobody can say it's not a gun, etc.

Hall

It can be for any of those reasons, doesn't change the fact that it's a hall just like every dictionary says.
