Learners sometimes use *answerer* instead of *respondent* in formal writing about surveys. *Answerer* is grammatically possible but sounds unusual and informal in this context; *respondent* is the standard term in research and news reports.

Muundo wa matumizi:
the respondent in [a case/appeal/proceeding]
