The t-shirt is a casual garment that usually has short sleeves.

A t-shirt is a casual garment that usually has short sleeves and is therefore used in the summer . The t-shirt is worn in everyday life, especially by young people. During the work day, however, it is common to wear other more formal clothing, such as a shirt .

There are t-shirts made of multiple materials and with different types of collars. There are models that have some buttons on the top, although others limit themselves to playing with the different shapes of the neck.

It should be noted that some words can be understood very differently depending on the geographical region. It does not matter that two communities share Spanish as a language : certain terms used in one area may be incomprehensible in the other or, at least, strange. That happens with a shirt.

Types of t-shirts

The linguistic differences regarding this notion are numerous. The shirt with buttons, in Argentina , is known as chomba .

In Spain the shirt is called a shirt , while for Argentines a shirt is a type of white t-shirt that is worn under outer clothing . T-shirt , flannel and polo are other terms that can be used to name this item of clothing.

Other uses of the concept

The word t-shirt, however, can indicate something that has nothing to do with clothing. For zoology , a trumpet is a large feather that is located at the end of a bird's wings. The shafts, on the other hand, are the details or components that, in a dart or an arrow , confer stability and aerodynamics.

boat

A woman who uses oars to propel a boat is known as a rower.

T-shirt as rudder

In this last meaning, the term t-shirt is used as a synonym for rudder or feathering and the material used for its manufacture is usually feather, although currently the use of plastic is gradually becoming widespread. Although each paddle or fin is known as a rower, this word also serves to name them all together, as a collective noun.

The structure of the sleeve on the back of an arrow or dart usually has three feathers attached around the tip, so that there is the same distance between each one of them and the next. Although the traditional method to attach them to the body of the arrow (which is known as the tube or shaft) or the dart (more precisely, to its tail ) consisted of tying them with silk thread, today there are more simple, how to glue them.

As mentioned above, the main function of the sleeve is to stabilize the dart or arrow while it is flying and subjecting itself to resistance forces , but in some cases they also serve to give them a twist that allows the trajectory to be altered with a certain effect. That said, any projectile can count on t-shirts to become aerodynamic and stay aloft as long as possible; A clear example is the fins that are placed on the back of the rockets (within which the engine is located).

In the case of bird feathers, the shirt (also known as the rémige) , presents an asymmetrical banner, that is, the appearance it has on each side of its central axis is different. The shirts found in the outer part of the wing are called primaries; next, there are the secondary ones (above the radius) and, finally, the tertiary ones (which are inserted into the humerus).

Rower, finally, is the woman who uses an oar to propel some type of boat.
