– Break down the word: ‘ropa’ means ‘clothes’ and ‘interior’ means ‘inside’ or ‘interior’. Think of ‘ropa interior’ as the clothes you wear on the inside.
– Associate ‘interior’ with ‘internal’ in English, which could help you remember that it refers to clothing you wear underneath your external clothes.

**Explanations:**

**Other words that mean the same thing:**

– ‘Prendas íntimas’ is another phrase that means intimate apparel.

**Alternate meanings like slang:**

– In some places, ‘ropa interior’ might be colloquially referred to as ‘calzones’ for men’s underwear or ‘bombachas’ for women’s underwear, though these terms are more informal and can vary regionally.
