person officially chosen as candidate
A person who is officially chosen as a possible winner of a job, office, or prize, but is not yet finally chosen.
Användningsmönster:
a nominee for [position/award]
Vanligt misstag:
Learners often confuse "nominee" with "winner". A nominee is only one of the people officially chosen to be considered; the winner is the person finally selected. Learners may also say *"He is a nominee of president"* instead of the correct *"He is a nominee for president"* or *"He is the party's nominee for president"*.
Synonymer
candidate (The most common general word for someone trying to get a job, office, or award; 'nominee' stresses that they have already been officially chosen or named by a group.)
Antonymer
incumbent (An incumbent already holds the office or position, while a nominee is only a selected candidate for it.)

holder of assets for another
A person or company that holds money, shares, or property in their name for someone else, who is the real owner.
Användningsmönster:
a nominee for [beneficial owner]
Vanligt misstag:
Learners may mix this meaning with the more common sense of "nominee" as a candidate. In legal and financial texts, a "nominee" usually does not mean a candidate, but someone who holds assets in name only for someone else. Context such as "shares", "account", or "company" usually signals this technical meaning.
Synonymer
custodian (In finance and law, a custodian safely holds assets for others; a nominee specifically has the legal title in their name while acting for the real owner.)
Antonymer
beneficial owner (The beneficial owner is the real owner who enjoys the benefits of the property, while the nominee only holds it in name for that person.)
