Swedish term or phrase: tillsägare
Basically, there are the tillsägare and the tillsagda. I know what is meant but I'm not sure of the terms used - anyone know the usual way a "tillsägare" is expressed in English please? Possibly even meant in an ironic way, i.e. not just straightforward instructor, more like "those that give the orders" - which is a bit long-winded.
TIA
