One of my friends asked me are there any easy ways to tell the difference between a mortgagor and mortgagee, consignor and consignee, chargor and chargee...... I understand his problem, the respective terms are so similar and yet they are opposite parties to each other. A mixed-up is fatal in examinations and businesses. I hope my explanation would be helpful to those who are engaged in the banking or logistics business or business English students.

The rule is very simple the party with a suffix "or" is the one which acts or which gives the action, whereas the party with a suffix "ee" is the one which receives the action. Here are some of the examples:
  • In a mortgage transaction, the mortgagor is the person who mortgages the property and is usually the owner of the property, whereas the mortgagee is the party which takes the property as a mortgage or security, and usually is the bank.
  • In a shipment, the consignor is the party who consigns the merchandise and is usually the seller, whereas the consignee is the party which receives the merchandise and is usually the buyer.
  • In a a payment transaction, a payor is the party which pays the money, whereas the payee is the party which receives the money.
  • In an assignment, the assignor is the party which assigns the title or benefits of a property or other goods and is usually the seller, whereas the assignee is the party which receives the benefits of the property or the goods and usually is the buyer.
  • On an envelope, the addresser is the sender of the letter and the addressee is the receiver.
Below are more examples:

  • appointer vs. appointee
  • bailer vs. bailee
  • donor vs. donee
  • lessor vs. lessee (lease)
  • nomin(or) vs. nominee
  • transferor vs. transferee
  • trainer vs. trainee
  • trust v trustee

Happiness is accompanied by sorrow, and the rain should have the clear sky. If rain remains after rain and sorrow remains after sorrow if. Please let us face this calmly leave after the departure. Smiles and it is impossible to find one of you!
