maglia vs. maglietta

[Emma Neve]

Hi!

Could you please tell me the English for this ?
Is "top" ok? even if it is for men?
In Italian it would be "maglia" or "maglietta"... long sleeves... made of cotton, usually
Thank you very much

For a man - long sleeve casual (pullover) shirt. For a woman - long sleeve top is fine.

Jee...
"long sleeve casual (pullover) shirt"??? oh my, oh my! Nothing shorter?

thank you a lot!

For men, "pullover shirt" is usually sufficient.

EDIT: You can also say "long sleeve T-shirt" as in the link in the next post. It is starting to get close to what I would call a "jersey."

Oh I see... what if it's got a round neck?
Like this one... I mean... is T-shirt ok even if it has long sleeves?
silly question, I know... I should know better than this


thank you so much

ciao a tutti,

ho una tabella da tradurre, senza un contesto di riferimento.

mi aiutereste a tradurre in inglese camicia, maglia e maglietta?

se camicia è shirt e maglietta è t-shirt, come traduco maglia in generale senza voler specificare che sia long-sleeves oppure in jersey?

Grazie!

Direi knit top.
