word choice - What is the difference in meaning between 先生 and 教師?


Apparently, the terms mean the same thing. They both refer to a teacher.



Answer




教師 means "a teacher".


先生 means "a teacher", too. But 先生 can be used for the title of teacher, doctor, writer, politician, artist, and so on.


For example, when a student greets to the teacher in the morning, he can't say "おはようございます、教師。". In this situation, he should say "おはようございます、先生".
