Table est un nom féminin désignant le meuble et, par extension, la table de repas ou de réunion. Se mettre à table signifie s'asseoir pour manger mais aussi, en argot policier, avouer. Table ronde (round table) désigne une discussion collective sans hiérarchie.
Faire table rase (to make a clean sweep, to start from scratch) et mettre la table / dresser la table (to set the table) sont des expressions fréquentes. Table des matières (table of contents) et table de multiplication (multiplication table) en sont des acceptions spécialisées.
