jacket -gaván/esmoquin
overcoat-chaquetón (if it's a light overcoat)
rainwear- ropa impermeable
socks- medias
glasses-gafas (usually big sunglasses)

@Poli: I think a jacket is rather a "saco" or a "chaqueta". And "esmokin"/"smoking" is a tuxedo. :)

Btw., "gaván" should rather be "gabán". ;)

En chile, jacket = chaqueta o vestón, pero sabemos del uso de la palabra saco.

Chaquetón es un abrigo corto.

:)

Handbag in Spanish is bolso.

@Hernán: entiendo que ha de ser difícil pensar en vestirse con cualquier tipo de "saco". :D


...Around here it's "bolsa (de mano)"

Sorry, didn't know. In Spain we say bolso. When we use bolsa we mean: bolsa de plástico, bolsa de la compra.

Sí. pero aún me gusta el de harina más que el de papa... ;)


Por acá es cartera (de mano) y la billetera es la billetera.

Bolso/bolsón o bolsa es para las compras... :)

I call a pinza peg in English.

Page has been updated with all vocabulary mentioned up to here.

I do have a couple of questions though:

I have never heard the term "counterpane". Can anyone confirm it?

I'm not sure what this is referring to-- is it a placemat? A small piece of cloth or plastic placed under the plate.

As far as I know a clothespin has two pieces joined by a spring so that it clamps shut. A clothes peg is one single piece of wood with a slot in the middle used to place over the clothes that are hanging on the line. But it doesn't clamp shut.

@David: "Colcha" is the (decorative) upper cover of a bed, placed over the sheets and blankets... I wasn't able to find a suitable word, even at bed clothing websites. :(

And Lou Ann posted a good picture of a "carpeta" in the b/v topic: http://forums.tomisimo.org/showthread.php?p=26358 (posts 24 to 27)

I've heard people refer to a bedspread as a "sobrecama"

I've also heard...
-frezada (?sp?) = blanket
-sábana (?sp) = bedsheet
-chamarra = jacket
-chanclas/chancletas = slippers
-medias = stocking (although this was a term used many years ago when stockings were pantyhose and (now) knee highs

Also, how do you say .....

-jogging pants
-sweat pants

I've heard people that only speak spanish refer to them as "pants".... the "a" is pronouned as the "o" in out.

:thinking::thinking:

Lo que tu dices es el gancho para colgar ropa mojada?:)

Traje de Baño = Bathing Suit,,,,, I'm suprised nobody thought of that

What about the verb (to wear)??!!!:thinking:
i used to use (usar) but they told me it's for general ideas like: en verano se usa una camiseta y unos pantalones cortos.
and for llevar I've be told that I should use puesto with it !!!
and my teacher uses traer puesto !!
Which one should I use??:confused:

here are some words :
súeter = sweater
cinto is a short for cinturón = belt
(sobre todo / abrigo )!! do they mean the same?
jeans/ vaqueros
chancletas / chanclas = flip flop
pantuflas = slippers

"Counterpane" is a decorative bed covering - a "bedspread".

Bragas=panties en España

What about "La Blusa"-Blouse? Is that a word thats commonly used? That's what I was taught in like 6th grade Spanish haha.

Added. Thanks!
The word is commonly used.
