Sensei (先生)

"Sensei", pronounced sen-say, is in its most basic sense a covers-all Japanese word for a teacher.

The two characters that make up the term can be directly translated as "born before" and imply one who teaches based on wisdom from age and experience. It is literally translated as "person born before another" or "one who comes before".

The term applies to teachers from grade school level up to university professors. It also includes instructors such as dance instructors and training instructors at a karate dojo or other martial arts school.

However, the word ‘sensei’ is always used from the perspective of the student or trainee. A person would never call themselves ‘sensei’. Instead, they would use the professional term for their occupation, such as kyoushi (教師) for a teacher.

That’s because, in Japanese, ‘sensei’ is a title for addressing someone who is a master of their craft or has a specialized degree, including instructors, doctors, and even lawyers.
