｢先輩｣　｢後輩｣って英語でなんて言うの？

If I understand your question correctly you are asking about someone who is of a lower rank - at work maybe? A new person in a work environment is often called a junior, trainee or apprentice. There is a trainee teacher in my school. She is not experienced and is going to learn while she is working. There is a junior in our office. She is only 18 and this is her first job. We have a new apprentice. He will learn his job over the next two years from the more experienced members of staff. Hope this helps :)

Hello, Momo! From my understanding, "senpai" means someone who is older, while "kohai" is someone who is younger. I think a direct English translation would be: senpai = senior kohai = junior For example, "This is John, he is my senior." However, in a school setting, we don't typically describe our peers (fellow students) as our "senior" or our "junior". You can refer to others by grade level in school, for example, first-year, second-year, etc. If he/she is a first-year student, we would call him/her a "freshman". Second-year = sophomore Third-year = junior Fourth-year = senior Examples: ✰ "This is John. He is a sophomore." ✰ "Hey, did you hear about the new student? I heard that she's a senior." I hope this helps! Good luck! ✰✰

1. There is no one word equivalent in English. The word senpai refers to someone who is your social or work elder. They are traditionally older than you and have more experience than you in a certain genre or environment. Possibly, master or mentor are the closest words. Senpai is used in English in contexts of martial arts as well as religious instruction, in particular Buddhism. "My mentor at university is Professor Heath, who is overseeing my Master's thesis." 2. Again, there is no direct translation for this word. Kouhai means that a person is younger than you or an lower-class student, or more inexperienced. "I've been working with company as manager for 2 years. Jane is my secretary and so is my junior in terms of position within the company."

先輩 = senior (at work or school), older student 後輩 = junior (at work or school), younger student 先輩後輩 = seniority-based hierarchy 先輩面をする = to put on an air of seniority / act like a senior 例文: 1. 大塚さんは大学で私より2年先輩でした。 Mr. Otsuka was my senior by two years at the university. 2. 後輩に本を借りました。 I borrowed a book from a junior staff member.

Senpai translated into English means teacher or master. Kohai translated refers to someone more junior or with less training.

The master must teach the tadpole to swim before he can go into the big pond. a "tadpole" is a little frog, so this is a metaphoric way to refer to someone who is kohai or an apprentice/trainee

--> An apprentice is a young person who works for someone in order to learn their skill. --> If you are someone's junior, you are younger than they are. I started off as an apprentice and worked my way up. He left school at 15 and trained as an apprentice carpenter.

Sempai: Someone who got into a job or position before you and has since "learned the ropes" and knows the way things are done! Kohai is therefore a sort of apprentice, or new learner, who will be taught or instructed by the Sempai ;-D "The experienced Senpai taught all he had learned to the new Kohai..."

Senpai = Upperclassman, senior advisor, Kohai = underclassman, junior, If I understand your question correctly, in terms of school-age children, senpai would be the senior and kohai would be the junior or underclassman.
