Cultural Tip
In Italy the word pigiama is masculine, even though it refers to a set of clothing. You’ll often hear “mettersi il pigiama” (literally ‘to put on the pajamas’) rather than the more formal “indossare il pigiama”. In some regions people say “pigiami” when they refer to multiple sets, but the singular form is standard for bedtime.
