Do you sit on

a couch
a sofa
a settee
something else in the same line (no fair saying 'a chair')?

Do you perceive any difference between these three things? Can you define it?

couch. A sofa is usually the same thing, but if it has like recliner seats or anything fancy, it is a couch. A sofa is a simple couch.

A settee is smaller and fancier as indicated above by stellar_dust.

Interesting - I think I'd probably be the other way round with couch and sofa. There seems to be a mounting consensus that a settee is a fancier item. Cool!
