How to say "analyst" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- nounThe usual word for 'analyst' as a profession, as in a financial, market, or systems analyst. Use this in most contexts where English would say analyst.
- 分析者ぶんせきしゃnounLiterally 'a person who analyzes'; describes someone carrying out analysis in a general or descriptive sense rather than as a job title. Less common than アナリスト for the professional sense.
- 分析官ぶんせきかんnounAn analyst in an official or governmental capacity, such as a post within an agency or bureau. Choose this when the analyst holds a designated official position; otherwise アナリスト is the safer choice.
- 分析家ぶんせきかnounAn analyst viewed as a practitioner or specialist of analysis, with 家 suggesting a person of a certain trade. A less common way to say 'analyst'; アナリスト is usually what you want.
For a professional analyst (finance, etc.) use 「アナリスト」; the 分析- words refer to someone who analyzes, with 分析官 often implying an official post and 分析家/分析者 more neutral.
