Amy just now: "In my drawer I have some socks, and in my cupboard I have a T-shirt and a pullover and a trousers [pause] some trousers and some panties and a underwear!".

Points to her for handling the plural "trousers" correctly! Especially since German treats all those items of clothing as singulars.

(Though when she said "underwear" she meant "vest".)
