How to say "elder" in japanese?
There are some ways to say elder that I know, but, is there differences (of respect, maybe?) between these words?
年上、浪人、長老、年寄り。
Is there other ways to say it? Which one is better to say?
Thanks for reading!

年上=older
浪人= masterless samurai, a student who failed entrance exams, vagabond
長老=important senior people in a community
年寄り=senior people
You can also say 老人 (senior people).
I think お年寄り is best in everyday conversation. It's the most general word for senior people.
