This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for October 17, 2009

manga (feminine noun (la)) — sleeve. Look up manga in the dictionary

Si no fuera por las mangas cortas, el saco le hubiera quedado bien.
If it wasn't for the short sleeves, the suit coat would have fit him well.

We say Canal de la Mancha (traducción "literal" de La Manche, supongo)

We don't say "saco" in Spain, but "traje". If somebody tells you that a suit or a dress "te queda como un saco"... ya lo puedes tirar

I also learned "traje" for "suit" in Latin American Spanish. And I have heard a Peruvian friend say it as well.

En Chile, traje means a suit too.

Chaqueta = saco (jacket)

Traje de tres piezas = three piece suit

@Irma: "saco" no es el traje completo, sino sólo la chaqueta.

Las mangas son largas en mi traje sastre y cortas en mi chándal.
Ayer arremangué y dormí afuera para tomar el sol, hoy los brazos están bronceados

¿Qué significa traje espacio? Yo lo he visto ayer en un programa. (Space suit?) (lo siento estoy pensando en los trajes )

A mi me suena más natural decir: Las mangas están largas...

Se puede decir también: las mangas son muy largas...

So .....

"camisa de mangas cortas" = short-sleeved shirt
"camisa sin mangas" = sleeveless shirt
