Study notes

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

  • Structure: 肌着, read はだぎ, means undergarments worn close to the skin.
  • Basic usage: Use it for spare undergarments or a thick inner layer worn under other clothes.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

  • Compared with an outer layer
    • 上着 refers to clothing worn on top, while 肌着 focuses on an inner layer close to the skin.
  • Counting garments
    • The example's 肌着を二枚 refers to two undergarments. Do not add the idea of two complete sets.
