Discussion

Mohammad Ghaffari Oct 4, 2021:
Yep I agree with Amir. We don't have the exact concept in the Persian context. Hence, conveying all the semantic and pragmatic features in Persian would be probably impossible. Likewise, I suggest going with any of these options and either add explanations in the footnote or write the original English word in parentheses after the translation.
Amir Akbarpour Reihani Oct 4, 2021:
با توجه به موضوع متن هر کدام از این سه گزینه می توانند مناسب باشند
اینکه مکان بنا مد نظر است (خانه شهری (در برابر خانه ییلاقی))
یا نوع آن (خانه دیوار مشترک یا پیوسته)

خانه تو شهر

I consider خانه as against آپارتمان. Townhome/townhouse is sort of against country house. My understanding is that it's some kind of a house, albeit in the city and not in the countryside. So, for a natural work, I suggest خانه تو شهر. It implies that it's not an apartment, and that it's not in the countryside but in the city. Just a suggestion. Other colleagues might have better options.

The understanding is based on here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Townhouse) and the suggestion itself is from Millennium English-Persian Dictionary (Farhang Moaser Publishing House).
Note from asker:
But do you have any reference for your explanations?
