日本語の文法的にはどうですか？

みんなさん、「先生」の呼び方を質問したいと思います。
Ｉｎｄｏｎｅｓｉａ語を知っていますか？
Ｉｎｄｏｎｅｓｉａ語だったら、for example: [Mister] Indonesian can speak [Bapak].
If we call that Bapak with "Pak" it isn't false... ex: Pak, do you have a minute?

in Japanese, I think if we call "Sensei" just with "~sei" it's false.. I know it, but I don't know the reason suitable with Nihongo Grammer.. Anyone can give me that reason? by linguistic theory maybe?

どうして「先生」の呼び方は「～せい」だけ、だめですか？
文法的の理由はどうですか？
教えてください！ありがとうございます。。。

Just remember '' sensei '' is one word to mean those who teach. Even when we use this word '' sensei '' as a title, we always use the word '' sensei '' ( not just '' sen '' or '' sei ''). '' Sei '' as in '' sensei '' ( as a title meaning a '' teacher '' in this case ) is something like '' nesia '' as in '' Indonesia ''. In JAPANESE, '' sei '' doesn't mean '' sensei '' explicitly or implicitly in any situations.

1. Japanese is not Indonesian, so don't compare them.
2. It's just plain wrong, because it is wrong. You can't do that.

Japanese usually call people with title. For example, Lily san, Lily kun, Lily sensei, Lily shachou. However, people call without title when they are very close, or they are angry. You can call Lily sensei, or just sensei is ok, But you can not call sei, because sensei is a title.
