This article deals with plural Finnish clothing vocabulary. This is an addition to the article with clothes vocabulary for beginners. You can find lots of plural Finnish clothing names here. As perhaps may seem strange at first, it neglects all clothing items that generally appear in the singular (e.g. pusero “shirt” and hattu “hat”).

The difference with English

For some of these, you will see that the English translation also appears in the plural (e.g. vaatteet “clothes“; silmälasit “glasses“; housut “pants“). However, this is not always the case. For example, the Finnish word for “bra” (singular) is rintaliivit (plural).

Many of these words are plurale tantum words: they only have a plural form. You won’t see them in the singular form (e.g. one pant? one jean?). However, this isn’t the case for the whole list: you can easily have one shoe, one boot or one glove.

The goal of this article
