In Japan, male train geeks are called tetsuo (鉄男) and female train geeks are called tetsuko (鉄子). 日本にはたくさんの鉄道があるため、幼い頃から鉄道に親しみ、ファンになった人がたくさんいます。 日本語では男性の鉄道オタクの事を「鉄男」女性の鉄道オタクの事を「鉄子」と呼びます。 Types of Train Geeks 鉄道オタクの種類 Railroad geeks have their own areas of expertise. 🚋撮(と)り鉄(てつ): someone who likes to take pictures of trains 🚋乗(の)り鉄(てつ): Someone who likes to ride trains. 🚋音鉄(おとてつ): People who enjoy recording train-related sounds, such as internal announcements and melodies. And there are many more 😉.That's more than 20 fields, they say. What field do you like? 鉄道オタクにもそれぞれの専門分野があるそうです。 🚋撮り鉄: 電車の写真を撮るのが好きな人 🚋乗り鉄: 電車に乗るのが好きな人 🚋音鉄: 社内アナウンスやメロディなど、鉄道に関する音を録音して楽しむ人 他にもたくさんの種類があります😉20分野以上あるそうですよ。 あなたは何の分野が好きですか?
