Usage Note

Maglione is masculine: il maglione, i maglioni. It refers specifically to a thick knitted sweater or jumper, heavier than la maglia (which can mean a lighter knit top, jersey, or T-shirt). Saying mi metto il maglione means 'I'm putting on my sweater'. Do not confuse maglione with maglietta ('T-shirt').

Examples

"Metti il maglione, fa freddo."

Natural Translation

Put on your sweater, it's cold.

Literal Translation

Put the sweater, it-makes cold.
