10 鉄人 Strong Man

  • Go to
  • Meaning
  • Reading
  • Context
  • Kanji Composition

Meaning

Primary

Strong Man

Alternatives

Badass, Iron Man, Macho Man, Tough Guy

Word Type

noun

Explanation

A man made of iron is a strong man... aka a huge badass. Have you seen "Iron Chef?" The Japanese translation is 料理の鉄人, which means "Chef Iron Man" aka "Chef Badass," at least in my book.

Reading

てつじん

Explanation

This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. Since 人 has two on'yomi readings, here's a mnemonic to help you remember which one to use:

Check out the strong man wearing nothing but jeans (じん). He looks like a badass in his jeans, flexing his pecs. Very impressive, but also slightly terrifying.

Context

Context Sentences

うちの社長は、鉄人すぎます。

The TV program I like most is Iron Chef.

私はスーパーで赤ちゃんに「いないいないばぁ」をしている鉄人を見た。

I saw a tough guy playing peak-a-boo with a baby in a grocery store.
