sunnies
noun · casual
Sunglasses.
How Aussies use it
- Don't forget your sunnies.
- I lost my sunnies at the beach.
Good to know
The Australian sun is strong, so sunnies, a hat and sunscreen are everyday essentials.
Saying it more formally
In a formal email, essay or the PTE test, use sunglasses instead.
Slang is great for chatting with friends and workmates, but keep it out of PTE essays and formal writing.
