Silly Question, but property relevant: Is a duplex the same as..

Hey all, just some property terms that seem a bit unfamiliar.  Here in Chicago, I never hear anyone talk about a “duplex, triplex, or fourplex”.  Are these always considered separate units on the same lot?  In Chicago, most buildings are vertical “2-flat, 3-flat, or 4-flat”, but they are all in the same building.  Typical city apartment living.  Could anyone clarify the terms as well as the relationship between the buildings and the land, if relevant?
