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

I do have a couple of questions though:

Quote:

Counterpane/bed quilt (?) - colcha NF

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

Quote:

Tablemat - carpeta NF

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.

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

Anoosh · #16 July 25, 2010, 06:43 AM

What about the verb (to wear)??!!!

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??

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".
