    I agree. Giacca can be jacket or coat.

      QUESTION FOR ITALIANS: is giacca really "jacket"? I was watching a few minutes of How I Met Your Mother dubbed in Italian and Barney used the word giacca for "suit"

          It is on purpose. You often remember the word better when you learn it through "shock".

              Ice = 'il ghiaccio', which is a tad different from 'la giacca'.

                  Because it's not "her" jacket, but "the" jacket.

                        I have put coat the first time and said it's wrong.

                        jacket - giacca, rivestimento, sovraccoperta, giubbotto, giacchetta, copertina coat - cappotto, mano, strato, mantello, giacca, pelo So i guess it's correct to say coat too.
