 The following is the definition of the `router` object returned by both [`useRouter`](#useRouter) and [`withRouter`](#withRouter):
 
-- `pathname`: `String` - Current route. That is the path of the page in `/pages`, the configured `basePath` or `locale` is not included.
+- `pathname`: `String` - The path for current route file that comes after `/pages`. Therefore, `basePath`, `locale` and trailing slash (`trailingSlash: true`) are not included.
 - `query`: `Object` - The query string parsed to an object, including [dynamic route](/docs/routing/dynamic-routes.md) parameters. It will be an empty object during prerendering if the page doesn't use [Server-side Rendering](/docs/basic-features/data-fetching/get-server-side-props.md). Defaults to `{}`
-- `asPath`: `String` - The path (including the query) shown in the browser without the configured `basePath` or `locale`.
+- `asPath`: `String` - The path as shown in the browser including the search params and respecting the `trailingSlash` configuration. `basePath` and `locale` are not included.
 - `isFallback`: `boolean` - Whether the current page is in [fallback mode](/docs/api-reference/data-fetching/get-static-paths.md#fallback-pages).
 - `basePath`: `String` - The active [basePath](/docs/api-reference/next.config.js/basepath.md) (if enabled).
 - `locale`: `String` - The active locale (if enabled).
