Spanish term

jubones

Non-PRO Spanish to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
SPAIN. This appears on a list of clothing items for babies (software strings). Dictionaries and other sources offer "doublet" as a translation, but that sounds rather Shakespearean. There is no more useful context; the previous items in the list are things like T-shirts, romper suits and pyjamas.

I found this site with some examples:

"Jubones de bebé para recién nacido. Talla 0 para cuando salgas del hospital con tu niño o niña."

Proposed translations (English)
3 babygrows
3 baby cardigans

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

@Cristina Nobody I've asked here in Spain has heard of "jubones" either.
neilmac (asker) Dec 17, 2022:
Possibly ... also related to the French "jupe" (skirt). One problem is that some of the terms for this type of garment appeared to be interchangeable, or at least used interchangeably by the companies or people selling them. Other similar terms are already translated as "body/romper suit/jumpsuit/babygro..."

Palabra de origne Arabe Parece es una palabra proveniente de arabe, y se usa en Andalicia. http://armasyarmadurasenespaa.blogspot.com/2012/02/el-jubon-...
There it says...El jubón es una vestidura, con o sin mangas, que cubría desde los hombros hasta la cintura, ceñida y ajustada al cuerpo. Es palabra de origen árabe. Es el típico ejemplo de aportación musulmana a los ropajes y armaduras cristianas. Viene del andalusí aljúbba, aunque otras vías de penetración más tardías fueron Italia y Provenza

Or maybe... I never dressed my kids like that. :)

Just checked the El Corte Inglés site and they use that word, too...
Cristina Gonzalez Dec 16, 2022:
Is this used in any other site? I've had two kids in Spain, and never in my life had I heard the term "jubón" before. Just sayin'

babygrows

It is a babygrow (in the UK at least)
Note from asker:
1.- That's a brand name (although, like others, it has taken on a generic meaning). 2.- I think I've already translated another term in the list as "Babygro/w"... I never thought there'd be so many different names for what are basically the same thing.
