Tips to Remember the Japanese Word:

– Visualize a picture of a train and label it "densha," reinforcing the image with the word.

– でんしゃ (densha) is a noun in Japanese and refers specifically to electric trains, which are very common in Japan.

Other Words That Mean the Same Thing:
– 列車 (れっしゃ, ressha): More general term for "train," can refer to any train, not just electric.
– 電車 (しゅけんでんしゃ, shukenden): This is a more literary term for electric train, though not commonly used in conversation.
