person who receives something
A person who gets something from another person, group, or place.
Μοτίβο χρήσης:
a recipient of [something]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes confuse "recipient" with "receiver". "Receiver" can be a person, but it is also common for objects (like a TV receiver), while "recipient" is almost always a person. Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition, e.g., saying "the recipient to a prize" instead of "the recipient of a prize". Spelling errors such as *recipeint* are also frequent.

container that receives a substance
A special container that is used to catch or hold a gas, liquid, or other material, usually in science or medicine.
Μοτίβο χρήσης:
a recipient for [something]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners may assume this technical sense refers to a person, as in the more common everyday meaning. In scientific texts, check the context: if it is about equipment or substances moving through tubes or systems, "recipient" likely means a container, not a person.
Συνώνυμα
container (Very general; does not itself suggest that something is flowing into it as strongly as "recipient" does in technical use.)
|
receptacle (Formal word for a container, often used similarly in technical or written contexts.)
Αντώνυμα
source (Refers to where a substance comes from, not where it is collected or received.)
