Business selling goods to consumers
A business that sells products directly to people who use them, not to other businesses.
Käyttömalli:
[a retailer] sells [products] to [consumers]
Tyypillinen virhe:
Learners sometimes use *retail* instead of *retailer*, saying things like *Many retails sell this product*. *Retail* is usually a noun or adjective for the type of trade, while *retailer* is the business that sells goods. Another common error is to use *retailer* for the customer, e.g. *The retailer bought a TV*, when the correct word is *customer* or *shopper*.
