That intereseting Polish language. In Russian "майка" means "undershirt" )))

[ketoacidosis]

That's interesting.

I usually hear "podkoszulka" (literally, under/ beneath shirt) used to mean "undershirt."

My grandparents would call underpants gotki. Is this another name for them?

[immery]

there is very colloquial "gacie" and diminutive "gatki"

[citraman]

I have relatives, of Polish ancestry, but American, who use gacie for longjohns or long underwear. for what that's worth (probably not much)

The coolest thing is that it accepted undies, for underpants. In australia we have a shirt word for just about everything! You are a legend Duo :)

[Paulie728976]

Short word not shirt!
