Chile Spanish Words: Clothing Words in Spanish Flashcards


One of the first things you will notice while traveling to different Spanish-speaking countries is that common words are not the same. This happens, for example, with clothing words in Spanish. Here we have listed 21 particular Chile Spanish words related to clothing. There are obviously more words, but these are the ones we thought will make you scratch your head trying to figure out what they mean.

This list is presented in a “flash card power point format” that you can download, print or embed in your website. This set of words is part of the Quick Vocabulary Tables of the book Speaking Chileno: A Guide to Spanish from Chile.
