Word for the person to which a question is addressed [duplicate]
If you ask a question, you'd be the asker and the other party would be the ____.
I thought of "askee", but this is not a word.
Solution 1:
I think addressee is the word. But it certainly depends on the situation. An answerer, a respondent would do as well.
Solution 2:
In this case, I would guess that the person would be a "listener" if he wasn't answering the question; then he would be the "answerer". So it depends on context.
