Getting dressed. Absolute Beginner #08

Getting dressedShow Podcast Information Let's get dressed today!
First of all, we need underwear. „Unterwäsche“. „Ein Unterhemd und
eine Unterhose“. An undershirt and underpants. Or a bra, „einen
BH“. „BH“ stands for „Büstenhalter“ – holding breasts... And socks,
„Socken“. Or tights – „eine Strumpfhose“. What else? Maybe pants,
„eine Hose“. Or a skirt, „einen Rock“. That's easy, isn't it? Or a
„Kleid“. A dress. „Ein Kleid“. If the pants are too big, we can
wear a belt, einen „Gürtel“.We borrowed the English word T-Shirt,
and we also use the word Sweatshirt. A knitted sweater is called
„ein Pulli“, I guess it's the shortform of pullover. A T-Shirt with
long sleeves for women can be simply an „Oberteil“.If you're
getting dressed to go to work you may want to put on a suit. For
men it's called „Anzug“. Women wear a „Kostüm“. That's a jacket and
a skirt. Or a „Hosenanzug“, meaning a jacket and dress pants. For
men it's just „der Anzug“. Of course they also need to wear a
shirt, ein „Hemd“. And a tie, „eine Krawatte“. A more colloquial
word for „Krawatte“ is „Schlips“. And if they want to wear a
bow-tie, it's called a „Fliege“, that's the same word as for a
fly.One thing is missing: We are still barefoot! So we need shoes.
What kind of shoes? Tennis shoes are called „Turnschuhe“. High
heels are „Stöckelschuhe“. Or maybe boots? They are called
„Stiefel“.Is it cold outside? Then we need another layer of
clothes. A warm jacket, eine „Daunenjacke“. Or just a
„Winterjacke“, if it is not a down coat. Then maybe a scarf, „einen
Schal“. A cap, „eine Mütze. And gloves, „Handschuhe“. That's a
funny word, isn't it? „Handschuhe“. Hand-shoes.We are finally
dressed! Wir sind angezogen! Let's go!
