"Il mio vestito"

Translation: My dress

[angie_hesham]

if vistiti means clothes - how can i say dresses ?!

[_DOMYz]

In italian:
Clothes = Vestiti
Dresses = Vestiti
Dress up= Vèstiti

Yes... We are fantasious on speak our language

[Libellule808]

To get dressed is vestirsi.

[futurememory]

Why isn't "my clothing" acceptable for this? Or is vestito in the singular only a dress?

[Sebafleb]

your second question is correct

[dnovinc]

Is it more common for a man to say "my suit" as "il mio vestito" or as "il mio abito" ?

[Siena382605]

My dad says "il mio vestito"

[Sebafleb]

I think it is more common to say my suit because more men have suits rather than dresses

[dnovinc]

Thanks for replying, but I was asking because "vestito" can mean "suit" as well:

• http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vestito#Noun_2
• http://en.pons.com/translate/italian-english/vestito

[DanielKaye]

We do the same thing in English. If you say your are dressing up, or getting dressed up, or wearing fancy dress, it means dresses for girls but suits for guys.

There are more specific words for suit and dress, but vestito is commonly used and understood.

The plural form, just like English, means clothing in general. "Look at all these dresses / forms of dress / outfits

[SoggyScroll]

"Look at all these dresses" does not mean general clothing in English, ever. If you say that you'd better be looking at a bunch of dresses (a dress that a woman would wear).

[Dream_into_Plan]

i am confused. Is Vestito/Vestiti is "cloth/clothes" or "dress/dresses" or both?

[_DOMYz]

Both. And also "suit/suits".

[Michelemaz12]

My outfit is also correct?

[Andi939240]

Not for me. Thats what i wrote and it was counted wrong.

[gxbbi]

Does it make a difference if you say or don't say "Il" at the start of this sentence?

[LirimJahiu2017]

You cannot say : Mio vestito. But you have to say : Il mio vestito
