技師, 職人, and 専門家: Technical Work, Handwork, and Expertise
Compare device or hospital testing work, skilled tile handwork, and building or insect expertise. Read occupational focuses and overlap without adding test types, credentials, or resolved problems.
Device investigation and hospital testing work
技師 (ぎし) means engineer or technician. 「技師が壊れた装置の原因を調べた。」 — “A technician investigated the cause of the faulty device.” Investigating the faulty device's cause does not establish completed repairs or resolution of every problem.
「彼女は病院で検査を担当する技師として働いている。」 — “She works at a hospital as a medical testing technologist.” The example identifies hospital testing work. It does not name an examination type, confer a physician's title, or state a diagnosis or treatment outcome.
Tile work in progress and skilled handwork
職人 (しょくにん) means artisan or craftsperson. 「職人が一枚ずつ瓦の形を整えている。」 — “The craftsperson is shaping the roof tiles one by one.” The tiles are being shaped one by one, without a report that all the work is complete.
「熟練した職人の手仕事には無駄がない。」 — “There is no wasted movement in a skilled artisan's handwork.” The sentence describes no wasted movement in skilled handwork. Craft skill does not by itself establish a national credential or a particular employer.
Building inspection and insect expertise
専門家 (せんもんか) means expert or specialist. 「古い建物の状態を専門家に調べてもらいました。」 — “We asked an expert to inspect the old building's condition.” The English and Korean quotations describe asking for an inspection; Japanese 調べてもらいました describes having the expert investigate. Neither wording states that the building's problems were resolved.
「講演では昆虫の専門家が写真を使って説明しました。」 — “An insect specialist gave an explanation using photographs during the lecture.” The explanation with photographs comes from an insect specialist. Technical occupation, craft skill, and field expertise have different focuses, without making the people identified by the terms mutually exclusive.
