how to say “businessperson” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger June 19, 2022June 17, 2022

I’ve had a business – עסק
– for almost 14 years now (it’s called Ulpan La-Inyan).

עסקים
are businesses – as well as business in the general sense, so that מנהל עסקים
is business management, מחלקת עסקים
is business class, and איש עסקים

Mostly businesspeople come to this hotel.

One businesswoman is אשת עסקים
, while businessewomen are נשות עסקים
