Bateau est un nom masculin, pluriel bateaux. Il designe toute embarcation, de la barque au grand navire. Bateau a voile (sailing boat), bateau a moteur (motorboat) et bateau de peche (fishing boat) precisent le type. En bateau (by boat) est la locution de moyen.
Monter dans le meme bateau (to be in the same boat) est une expression figuree pour partager la meme difficulte. C'est bateau est un adjectif invariable familier signifiant cliche, predictable. Manquer le bateau (to miss the boat) s'emploie au sens figure comme en anglais.
