ステータス
Significado: Status — can refer to online status (active/away/offline) on messaging apps, or metaphorically to social standing or coolness factor.
Borrowed from English 'status,' ステータス has dual usage in modern Japanese. In tech contexts, it refers to online presence indicators on apps like LINE or Discord. In broader usage, it describes social cachet — owning certain brands, attending prestigious schools, or having desirable qualities. The gaming world also uses it for character stats, making this a triple-meaning loanword.
Ejemplos
- LINEのステータスずっとオンラインだけど、暇なの? LINE上的状态一直显示在线,你很闲吗?Tu estado en LINE lleva un buen rato en línea, ¿no tienes nada que hacer?LINE 스테이터스 계속 온라인인데, 한가해?
- 最新のiPhone持ってるのがステータスみたいになってるよね。 拥有最新款iPhone好像成了一种身份象征了。Tener el último iPhone se ha convertido en una especie de símbolo de estatus, ¿no?최신 아이폰 갖고 있는 게 스테이터스처럼 됐지.
- ゲームのステータス振り直したいんだけどリセットできる? 想重新分配游戏角色的属性点,能重置吗?Quiero redistribuir los stats de mi personaje del juego, ¿se puede resetear?게임 스테이터스 다시 찍고 싶은데 리셋할 수 있어?
