Worktop/counter etc. in informal language - for native English speakers. In Danish we call most level surfaces that are used for eating, writing, working at etc. “tables”, regardless of their having legs or not. So the surface in the kitchen that one uses when preparing the food we call a “kitchen table”. If I understand it correctly, in British English this surface is either called a “worktop” or a “work surface” and in US English it’s called a “kitchen counter”. Is that correct? (you only have to answer what you call it in your native country). But what do you normally say when you talk about this surface informally? Let’s say you are in the kitchen and a friend of yours is carrying a bag of groceries. You then say to your friend “Just put the bag on the ______”. Which word would you use to fill in the blank? Thanks for your help!
