person who sends a message
The person or account that sends a message, letter, email, or text.
Padrão de uso:
the sender of [a message/letter/email]
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse "sender" with "recipient" and say things like *I am the recipient of this email* when they mean they are the one who sent it, or they say *I am the send* instead of *I am the sender* or *I sent it*. Remember: the sender sends the message; the recipient receives it.

|
payer (Used when focusing on money being sent or paid, not usually for physical parcels.)

Sinónimos
transmitter (The more common technical term for a device that sends signals or data.)
Antónimos
receiver (A device that takes in the signals or data sent by a sender or transmitter.)
