English: A couchette car is a railway carriage conveying non-private or semi-private sleeping accommodation. They usually consists of a corridor and compartments with 4–6 places for lying or sleeping, sometimes there is no wall towards the corridor. During daytime the former type of compartment can be usually be converted to a sitting compartment for 6 people by the passengers. Couchettes are much cheaper than sleeping cars.

Svenska: Liggvagnar, d.v.s. en enklare sovvagn. En vanlig typ har cupéer med 6 sittplatser dagtid, vilka kan omvandlas till 4–6 sovplatser för natten. Bäddarna är vanligen enklare och mindre bekväma än i de egentliga sovvagnarna.

Suomi: Couchette-makuuvaunut. Näissä on tyypillisesti 4–6 hengen makuuosastot, jotka voidaan muuttaa päiväksi matkustajien toimesta päiväosastoiksi, ja joissa nukutaan vieraiden ihmisten kanssa. Pedit ovat yksinkertaisemmat kuin varsinaisissa makuuvaunuissa.
