I just wrote "sweater" for a previous use of maglione, and it gave as an alternate, "shirt". Now I use "shirt" and get it wrong. Am I missing something?
I wrote jumpers, and got it wrong. The word means sweater and jumpers, therefore i should be marked correct.
Flag it and suggest it, then. The Duo team focuses on American English, and "jumper" means something very different in American English.

Just noticed this too. Shirts singular becomes sweaters, plural? I feel like that must be wrong.
it sounds like she's saying la donna i maglioni. I only put 'ha' there because context clues.
La signora means the lady. Donna is woman. It may be a subtle distinction, but it is one many women cherish.

That's a subtle difference but thank you for pointing that out! But people do say 'look at the lady coming out of the shop and it doesn't necessarily mean a fine lady but I understand . Just a bit annoying to lose a heart and feels like we have to be extra extra careful !
Sweater/s Il maglione I maglioni
Jersey/s La maglia Le maglie
Shirt/s La camicia Le camicie
I think it should be accepted, but still I just checked in a dictionary and:
- maglione = sweater (in a different dictionary it also can mean pullover)
- pullover = pullover
So yeah I'm also a bit confused
My dictionary says pullover is "maglia dolcevita" :) And "maglione" is thick clothing made of wool - sweater.

The sentence is: La donna ha i maglioni In the fast version it was not clearly for me and in the slow version I hear: La donna ha i maglione instead of "i maglioni"

I can't believe what you are doing Duolingo? How Come it is now sweater and it was shirt for several times and when I tought it was sweater you said it was wrong

I wrote "sweatshirts" and it was marked as incorrect; the word "sweatshirt" is often used instead of "sweater" in the UK so please can this be added to the Duolingo vocabulary?
This is not the place to make such requests. You need to hit the little flag icon after it marks you wrong and select the report option that says "My answer should be accepted." If enough people make the same report, the course contributors will look into the matter.
I put the women has the sweaters and it said it was incorrect and that the correct answer was "the women has the sweaters"
The correct answer is "The womAn has the sweaters". You wrote "The womEn has the sweaters".
Duo keeps confusing maglia and camisa. Sometimes duo insists one is a shirt and the other a sweater and other times it is reversed. As in 'il cuoco ha la sua maglia' the cook has her sweater is the duo answer. Having grown up in an italian family... Una camisa is a shirt Una camisetta is a t-shirt Una maglia is a sweater Grr!
I had to say this sentence and half the words weren't recorded but I know I said them

Whilst "maglione" and "maglioni" may sound the same when said quickly, the clue is the "i" which confirms it's plural, so "maglioni". If it was "il", it'd confirm it was singular, so "maglione".
