The first item returned by a search on "couch" is ABC-00927226, which "features a rectangular form resembling a couch, characterized by a solid, box-like structure." In other words: it's a box.

If you don't feel knowing a second language is helping you use your first, maybe you need to look more closely at how you use both.
