study
'die Studie' and 'der Survey' can both be scientific investigations. 'Studie' is more general: it can use many methods, such as experiments, measurements, or questionnaires. A 'Survey' is more specific and mainly means a systematic questionnaire or survey in which data or opinions are collected from people. The words can be confused because a survey is often part of a study or is itself described as a study. When questionnaires or surveys are central, 'Survey' fits. When the method is not so important or is broader, 'Studie' is more natural.
