Student
Pupil, Follower
noun, の adjective
One who is junior in life is a student or pupil. It's kind of like how a 先生 is someone who came previous to you in life. Cool how that works, right? Okay 生徒, get back to work!
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well.
その生徒は、先生に向かって舌打ちをしました。
That pupil tsk tsked the teacher.
高校までは生徒のことを「生徒」とよぶけど、大学では学生のことを「生徒」とはよばないよ。
We call students "pupil" up through high school, but we don't call university students "pupils."
私の趣味は、教師と生徒の禁断の愛をテーマにした本を読むことです。
My hobby is reading books about the forbidden love between students and their teachers.
