how to say “businessperson” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger

אִישׁ עֲסָקִים

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
is a businessman – while אנשי עסקים
are businessmen or businesspeople.

For example:

למלון הזה מגיעים בעיקר אנשי עסקים.

Mostly businesspeople come to this hotel.

One businesswoman is אשת עסקים
, while businessewomen are נשות עסקים
.
