How to say "cache" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- nounCovers the computing sense of 'cache': a store of data kept for quick access. This loanword is the common word for the computer term, as in browser or memory caches.
- 隠し場所かくしばしょnounRefers to a place where something is hidden, so it fits 'cache' only in the sense of a hidden store of supplies or valuables. It is a less common match, emphasizing the location itself.
- 貯蔵物ちょぞうぶつnounMeans stores, stock, or reserves, so it covers 'cache' as the hidden or stored goods themselves rather than the place. A less common word, best when the emphasis is on the accumulated supplies.
Use 「キャッシュ」 for the computing sense; for other senses, choose based on meaning: 「隠し場所」 emphasizes a hiding place, while 貯蔵物 emphasizes stored goods or reserves.
