Flatmates is used in the UK for someone who you share a flat with but have separate rooms, and roommates is used where you share a room, but not a bed, or are not in a romantic relationship with. It's generally for places like student accommodation.

Yeah, but is it valid in American English to call someone a roommate even though each of you have a separate room?

[-] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

American English yes, British English no.

I'm unsure about other English-speaking countries.
