Noun

tröja c

  1. an upper-body garment, excluding outerwear like jackets, especially one worn for warmth and usually not for example a dress shirt (which is a skjorta); usually pulled over the head to put on, though sometimes with buttons or a zipper (for example on some hoodies)
    Ta på dig en tröja!
    Put on a shirt!

      Synonyms: t-shirt, t-tröja
    2. a sweater, a jumper

Usage notes

  • Like the loose meaning of shirt in American English, but also extending to sweaters and the like. A non-outerwear, "everyday" upper-body garment worn for warmth, usually pulled over the head.
  • A T-shirt would often be qualified as t-shirt or t-tröja. The immediate intuition is a sweater or sweatshirt.
  • Tjocktröja excludes T-shirts and the like – a (usually comparatively thicker) "outer" garment within the category of tröja. A thin long-sleeve garment might get called a "långärmad tröja" instead, though it's bound to be a bit fuzzy.
