意味

A special skill or talent; something one is particularly good at.

A noun referring to a skill or ability that stands out. Commonly asked about in self-introductions, job interviews, and social situations. 特技は何ですか (What is your special skill?) is a staple question. In resumes, a 特技 section lists abilities beyond professional qualifications — such as playing an instrument, cooking, or a sport. Differs from 得意 (strong point) in that 特技 implies a more notable or distinctive talent.

例文

1. 彼の特技はどんな人とも仲良くなれることだ。
2. 履歴書の特技の欄に何を書けばいいか迷った。
3. 子供のころから特技はピアノだと自慢していた。
