English term or phrase: Sweater
Necesito saber la traducción de 'sweater' en el español de Puerto Rico. Estoy haciendo una corrección de traducción y lo tradujeron como 'pulóver', pero yo creo que es la palabra que se usa en otros lugares (Argentina, p.ej.) pero no en Puerto Rico.

Contexto: "... these sweaters are on sale"

Gracias.

agree  Charles Davis: "Suéter" es, con diferencia, la opción más frecuente en páginas web de P.R., aunque habría que tener presente también el comentario de Adriana (desconocía este uso de "abrigo").

sweater
sudadera


Explanation:
Esta palabra se utiliza (en España al menos) si se trata de una prenda deportiva de algodón grueso (tipo chándal). Si es de lana o punto acrílico se puede llamar suéter o jersei, pro no sudadera.

Asker: Muchas gracias, pero estaba buscando la traducción para el español de Puerto Rico. Me quedé con suéter porque es un término claro y usual en Puerto Rico.
