This is for any Britspeaker out there...or anyone who can translate! Is a "jumper" just a pullover sweater, and if so, what do you-all call the kind of sweater that buttons or zips down the front?

Isn't that a cardigan?
Ceci n'est pas un seing.

Without sleaves it is called vest. Don't know if in English that can be knitwear too.

Jumpers were the style of uniform the girls wore when I was in Catholic Elementary School back in the 50's-60's it is a sleeveless type of dress that looks like an apron. It was usually worn over a blouse or some other clothing

A Jumper would be the equivalent of a Jersey or pullover. With buttons in the front, a Cardigan or cardy as we say down ere.

Ok. Merci. I didn't know if the term applied to both kinds of sweaters or just the one. And yes, kah, that's what I think of as a jumper; which is not the same as a pinafore.

Jackie, over ankle high in snow here. We are snowhopping wearing woollen jumpers. At last. Victoire! Traffic blocked. Trams and trains unable to ride. Wonderful.
