    That reminds me that my sixth grade teacher was adamant that 'I am going over Steve’s house" meant that one was visiting the house, not flying over it.

      I like learning french because it shows me how weird the connections to english are.

      “Chez Steve” means “At Steve’s [place]”. This one is more verbose in english.

      But you can say “chez moi” for “at home”. And no need to specify which home.
