How do you call a...?

Hi, Antonia!

What are you working on now?

Hi,

It's the same text on required reading. At least I got some money for it:)

But, I started today with Burns and their Treatment. (medicine). It's for my thesis, just a translation exercise, like negotiation.

Uzdravlje! (Cheers in Croatian)

Research student?

Hi,

A doctoral candidate?

Clive

Hmm.. I'm not sure, but thank you very much on your suggestions. I'll go and look up what a doctoral candidate and research student do...

Antonia -- we would usually say "what do you call....," not "how do you call...".

(When I see a question that begins "how do you call a person who..." I usually want to say "on the telephone.")

Dear Antonia,

I have heard «PhD student». It is a kind of «postgraduate» also.

With best wishes,

Goldmun

Thank you all for your suggestions!

p.s. Ok, What do you call...What do you call... I have to repeat it several times to remember it. Thank you!!

Antoniahow do you call a student who is working on his phd thesis?

"Oi! PhD student! Get your lazy **** over here!"

(That ought to do it.)

MrP

'****'? '****'! What ever happened to the traditional British '***'?
