Nope, when people scream something like 'sensei' or just standalone, it
mostly means teacher, generically someone who teaches (you), or in several
cases also doctor. But it isn't generically for people with some authority,
they have other names and words for those people.
先生 せんせい(sensei)
1: teacher; master; doctor; (Suffix) ;
2: with names of teachers, etc. as an honorific (for example Tanaka-sensei =
teacher tanaka)
to go back to most developed conlang,
I'm actually wondering which language has it's uses. I mean specifally that
you use it to simplify things in the world, like a language which helps you
at math or something, or to express things that aren't really easy in your
motherstongue or even impossible.
Does anyone have or knows one?
