月げっ給きゅう取とり

noun

salaried employee; salaryman

A somewhat dated or colloquial term for a person who earns a monthly salary, often with a nuance of being a regular company employee. Compare with サラリーマン, which is more common in modern Japanese.

• 父ちちは長なが年ねん、月げっ給きゅう取とりとして同おなじ会かい社しゃに勤つとめている。

  My father has worked for the same company for many years as a salaried employee.
