Technology

Machines, devices and software, and the words for using them and fixing them.

Technology vocabulary in Japanese comes from two sources. The software side is largely English in katakana — アプリ, データ, システム — often shortened in ways English does not shorten. The machine side, and many of the verbs for what you do on a screen, are kanji: 保存(ほぞん), 削除(さくじょ), 設定(せってい). Most of those are nouns that become verbs with する.
