From English "trainer." In Japanese, the clothing sense (sweatshirt) is the most common usage and is a classic wasei-eigo term — in English, "trainer" refers to a person or shoes, not a sweatshirt.

Usage

The clothing sense is used very broadly in everyday Japanese. A トレーナー specifically refers to a pullover sweatshirt without a hood (a hooded version would be パーカー). The trainer/coach sense overlaps with コーチ.

Common collocations

  • トレーナーを着(き)る: to wear a sweatshirt

Similar words
