The word “slider” is sometimes used in Japan to refer to a long, smooth structure that one can slide down, such as one might find at a playground or water park. However, in English, this is simply called a “slide.”
That extra “r” can make a big difference, though! In English, a “slider” typically refers to a tiny sandwich or hamburger which is eaten as an appetizer. It can also be a type of pitch in baseball or a small knob or lever that slides to control something (like volume). So, if you don’t want to be misunderstood, don’t mix up “slide” and “slider”!
