タッチ
Significado: Tapping your IC card at a train gate or payment terminal — the quick contactless gesture.
The physical action of holding your IC card (Suica, PASMO, etc.) or smartphone against a reader to pass through ticket gates or make payments. タッチ has become second nature to urban Japanese — the quick beep-and-go gesture is performed dozens of times a day. 'タッチして' (tap it) is a common instruction at convenience stores, vending machines, and station gates.
Ejemplos
- タッチし忘れて改札閉まっちゃった。 忘了刷卡，闸机关上了。Me olvidé de tocar y el torniquete se cerró.터치를 깜빡해서 개찰구가 닫혀 버렸어.
- ここタッチで払えるよ、現金いらない。 这里可以刷卡付款，不用现金。Aquí se puede pagar tocando, no hace falta efectivo.여기 터치로 결제할 수 있어, 현금 필요 없어.
- タッチが反応しなくて後ろの人に迷惑かけた。 刷卡没反应，给后面的人添麻烦了。La tarjeta no reaccionó al tocar y molesté a la persona de detrás.터치가 인식이 안 돼서 뒤에 있는 사람한테 폐를 끼쳤어.

✗ Incorrecto
- ICカードを機械に差し込むことを「タッチ」とは言わない — タッチはかざす動作のこと (Inserting a card into a machine isn't 'touch' — タッチ means holding it near the contactless reader)把卡插进机器里不叫'タッチ'——タッチ是指将卡贴近非接触式读卡器的动作Insertar una tarjeta en una máquina no es 'tocar' — タッチ significa acercarla al lector sin contacto (Inserting a card into a machine isn't 'touch' — タッチ means holding it near the contactless reader)IC 카드를 기계에 삽입하는 것을 '터치'라고 하지 않는다 — 터치는 비접촉 리더기에 가까이 대는 동작이다
Errores comunes
- Holding the card too far from the reader — it needs to be within a few centimetres for the reader to detect it
- Walking through without properly tapping — you need to wait for the beep confirmation before proceeding
