Deltakers

Deltakers is a term used in several languages to denote a person who participates in an activity, event, study, or program. In English-language usage, the word is not standard, but it may appear as a loanword or in multilingual contexts. The English equivalent is typically participant or attendee, depending on the context.

Usage and contexts: In research, a deltaker is a person who participates in a study; ethical requirements such as informed consent, the right to withdraw, and protection of privacy apply. In events, conferences, or programs, deltakers are participants who join sessions, complete tasks, or contribute to discussions.

Language variation: The root form deltaker arises in Germanic-language traditions and has variants in Nordic and Dutch-speaking contexts. Pluralization and exact spelling vary by language; some languages form plurals as deltakere or deltagere, while others use different endings. Because the term crosses languages, English-language references may instead use standard translations such as participant or attendee.
