"I went to the doctor yesterday."

Translation: 昨日、医者に行きました。

[Tony_Kaku]

I agree with JW, いしゃさん or おいしゃさん seems more natural.

Also, no は after きのう here, but we got dinged for leaving it out in a previous quiz.

[No--One]

The dictionary that I use lists 医者 as a "sensitive" word. Is this because a physician may be offended by someone not using proper respect with the title?

[animatrix1490]

That's what I was wondering

[jern2jern]

When using いしゃ for doctor, it sounds more natural to say いしゃさん

[Y7qU4]

いしゃさん is not natural.
We japanese say いしゃ or
おいしゃさん.

[dtUyaD]

Does Japanese distinguish physician from PhD, the way German does?

[JWong60254]

Yes. If you look at the kanji, you get medicine+person. PhD is 博士.

[poisonenvy]

昨日、医者に行きましたか。

[V2Blast]

No か at the end. It's not a question.

[AlastairMa378369]

Why can't I say '... 行きた'?

[JWong60254]

The た-form of 行く is 行った。

[cantouche]

昨日は医者に行きました is possible ?

[palizartpop3]

Why cant i use the kinou part before the verb like 医者に昨日行きました
