How to say 'On the 1st floor' in Russian?


Last time we were talking about the prepositional case. One of the cases when we need it - when talking about the floor we live on. Do you remember? "Я живу на втором этаже. На первом этаже находится магазин". If you're going to Russia, you might find useful the fact that unlike people in many countries, we start counting floors from the ground (see the picture); so it's like in the USA (to the best of my knowledge, please correct me if I'm mistaken). So be careful! Я живу на четвертом этаже. На каком этаже вы живете? :)
