Vzorec užití:
a/an [adjective] businessman
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use "businessman" for a woman; in modern English this sounds wrong or old-fashioned. Use "businesswoman" for a woman and "businessperson" or "business executive" when you do not want to show gender. Another mistake is writing it as two words (*business man*); the correct form is one word: "businessman" (plural: "businessmen").

|
entrepreneur (Implies skill plus willingness to start new ventures and take risks, not just general business ability.)
