owner of a business
A person who owns and often manages a business, usually a small shop, restaurant, or hotel.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone] is the proprietor of [a business]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "proprietor" with "manager" or "employee." A manager runs the business but may not own it, while a proprietor owns it and may or may not manage it. Some learners also think "proprietor" can mean any owner, but in modern English it is most often used for owners of small businesses like shops, cafés, or hotels.

legal owner of property
A person who is the legal owner of land, a building, or another thing of value.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone] is the proprietor of [a property or asset]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes mix up "proprietor" and "landlord." A landlord rents out property to tenants; in everyday speech, "landlord" is far more common for this role. "Proprietor" is more formal and legal and focuses on who owns the property, not on the rental relationship.

landowner (Emphasizes ownership of land specifically; less formal than "proprietor" in legal writing.)
