Do we use fridge and refrigerator?

When we use fridge and refrigerator, are they the same?

Best Answer

"Fridge" is is just short for "refrigerator". It's considered a proper word now, not just an abbreviation. However, it is still considered a short, informal form — for example, if you buy a fridge, the owner's manual will still say "refrigerator".

By the way, you are missing an article in those examples. They should be:

Put it into the fridge.

Put it into the refrigerator.

Oddly, it is unusual to hear "Put it into a fridge" even when there is more than one refrigerator to choose from. "The fridge" often just means any low-temperature environment.
