TV: "veltivni" is enough.
ceiling: for ceiling as distinct from roof, I suggest "tolyloi".
air conditioner: "lekmi'i" also means "fridge". I suggest "varlekmi'i".
shower: the translations mean "wash oneself in a shower" and "wash in a=20
shower", but it appears you mean the bathroom fixture. I suggest "cavlumca'=
a".
cell phone: "fonta'a" means "talk on the phone". How about "slefonxa"?
TV stand: I suggest "veltivni zbepi", or "veltivzbe" for short. Could also =
be=20
"vidnyzbe".
refrigerator: see a/c. German is "K=FChlschrank"; do we have a word for=20
"Schrank"?
controller: in the general sense, "jitro".
drain: if you mean the hole in the bottom of the sink, that's "teryrinci".
key chain: "kikybakfu"?
wallet: would "si'irvau" do?
sink: "derse'a" means "stick into earth". You want "lumbaktu".
faucet: we don't seem to have a word for "valve" or "switch" in the general=
=20
sense. How about "jaurtrobatke"?
lid: "ve botpi" is only for bottles. "gacri" is more general.
pills: "velmicyboi"?
conditioner: "krexulmai"?
shower head: "cavlumstedu"?
laptop: "ploskami". "selbeiskami" means portable computer, which is not=20
necessarily a laptop.
