How to say "grader" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- nounRefers to the machine sense of 'grader': a construction vehicle with a long blade for leveling ground, also called a motor grader. It never means a person who grades papers.
- 採点者さいてんしゃnounA person who grades or marks tests and assignments; the ordinary way to say 'grader' in the human sense. It is a neutral term for whoever assigns the scores.
- 採点官さいてんかんnounAlso a person who grades, but with an official flavor, suggesting a formal examiner such as in examinations or competitions. Less likely than 採点者 for an ordinary teacher grading papers.
Use 「グレーダー」 only for the construction vehicle; for a person who grades work, choose 採点者 for the general 'person who grades' and 採点官 when an official examiner role is meant.
