There are lot of good answers already. I agree that the song "A house is not a home" helps to explain the dynamic quite well. I would only add that a house is a building and a home contains the personality of all the people living there. For example, if you buy a new house, it doesn't feel like "home" until everyone feels comfortable and at ease in the new environment. Additionally, the way you use each word depends on the context. For example: I found a puppy and brought him home. I found a puppy and brought him to my house. It may not seem like a big deal but in the first example, in my interpretation, you are going to allow the puppy to become part of your family. In the second instance, it appears that puppy may only be staying at my house temporarily. I apologize if that doesn't make much sense.

one house is just a building, while a home is a warmer place, its formed by the heart whom live there

Hello Sami..!! I think that the "home" is a house, but it is where a family lives and the "house" refers to any building that human has done to make their activities inside... so... I can say that "home" is hyperonym of "home". ________________________________________________________________________________________ "Agua mole em pedra dura, tanto bate até que fura.

A house is the building where people live. A home is more than just the building. It includes the feeling of being in a safe friendly environment with family.

Listen to the song, "A house is not home". I'm sure there are many versions on youtube.
