What is “shakai jin”? You Should Know

I’d say you have already known the meaning of “学生がくせい(gakusei)” which means students, what about “社会人しゃかいじん(shakai jin)“? People often want to know someone who is a student or not in daily conversations. Let me introduce what “社会人しゃかいじん” means and how to use it today!

社会人しゃかいじん (shakai jin)

Working adults / Working member of society / Working professional / Employees

社会人しゃかいじん(shakai jin)” means “Working adults, Working member of society, Working professional or Employees”. Basically, people want to know if someone is a student or a working member of society. That means, they often ask us about it when applying for something such as bank accounts, credit cards, and travels or when buying cars, houses, etc. Apparently, one of the criteria exists in our life that if someone is a student or a working member of society. For example, you may be asked “学生がくせい? or 社会人しゃかいじん?” by police in Japan when hanging out with your friends quite midnight around 1 a.m. or so if you look quite younger. Lastly, if you are already working at a certain company, you would be called “社会人しゃかいじん“, which everybody uses in both casual and business situations.
