Clothes in German

Where English has a pair of trousers or glasses, German has one thing: die Hose, die Brille. Tragen means both to wear and to carry. Anziehen and ausziehen are separable verbs, so the prefix goes to the end: Ich ziehe die Jacke an. Of these 26 words, 4 are among the 5,000 most common; the other 22 are basic words, marked with a dash.
