Meaning of room

In this sentence it means space. The big trainer is too big.

If it were a building part, then it would be best said 'my house doesn't have a room for the trainer.

Did I confuse the issue further?

Do you mean room in #1 can't mean #3?

I don't understand why room in #1 can't mean #3.
I think #1 has almost the same meaning as #4.

#1. My house has no room for such a big trainer.
#4. My house doesn't have a room for such a big trainer.

I think room in #1 can mean #3 because #1 and #4 have almost the same meaning and room in #4 means #3.

Why can't roo

Hi,
Which does room in the following sentence, #1, mean, #2 or #3?

#1. My house has no room for such a big trainer.

#2. space for something.
#3. part of a building enclosed by walls, floor, and ceiling.

I think room in #1 can mean both. Yes, it can. But, as already noted, meaning #3 would often be said in another way.

Best wishes,

But once you add the article "a,"

#5. My house doesn't have any room for such a big trainer.

#3. part of a building enclosed by walls, floor, and ceiling.

I'd take it as only meaning 2.

You have to take the context into consideration. In your sentences you are not talking about just not having a piece of equipment, but not having it BECAUSE of its size. Therefore the 'space' meaning makes a lot more sense. For example, you might have a room that you use as a gym, and you can't buy a specific trainer because it is too big for that room. You
