Sweater in Italian 🇮🇹

maglione info.

Tips for remembering “maglione”:
• Think of “maggie on” as if you’re telling someone named Maggie to put on a cozy sweater when it’s cold.
• Associate the “-one” ending with “big” or “warm” to remind you that the garment keeps you warm.

Explanations:
• “Maglione” is the Italian word for a sweater, typically referring to a knitted garment worn over the upper body.
• It is often used to describe any warm, long-sleeved knitted jumper.

Other words that mean the same thing:
• Pullover (often borrowed into Italian in informal contexts)
• In some contexts, “jersey” may be used (though it sometimes refers to a lighter knit).

Alternate meanings (including slang):
• “Maglione” is used almost exclusively as the garment. There isn’t a widely recognized slang meaning; however, in a humorous context, someone might refer to a person fondly as “un bel maglione” to suggest warmth and comfort, but this is not standard slang usage.

Examples of sentences:
• “Metto il maglione perché fuori fa molto freddo.”
 Translation: “I’m putting on my sweater because it’s very cold outside.”
• “Questo maglione è morbido e perfetto per l’inverno.”
 Translation: “This sweater is soft and perfect for winter.”
• “Ho comprato un nuovo maglione ieri, mi piace molto il suo colore.”
 Translation: “I bought a new sweater yesterday; I really like its color.”
