Privet, all Smile

This is surely the dumbest question in the world. My Russian friend wrote me and said she was in a small earthquake last night in Bishkek. She said she was wearing "cowards" and a vest, and got up to get dressed . What are cowards? I felt too silly asking her Rolling Eyes .

I'm guessing a "vest" for sleeping is like a nightshirt or undershirt, but I wasn't sure of that, either.

Thanks so much!

Anne

Cowards is a machine translation of underpants. Vest most likely is a undershirt then.
