About LinkBacksI'm having a bit of trouble composing a sentence.
I have: "Mario posee su propio negocio" My spanish is very limited so I'm not sure if I'm way off mark here. Any suggestions? Thanks.
"he owns his own business"

Re: "he owns his own business"
Hi,
I think it's OK. You can also say: "Mario tiene su propio negocio". Within this context, tiene fits more than posee.
Hope it helps.
Re: "he owns his own business"
O simplemente:
Mario tiene un negocio.
It is understood it is his own.
Re: "he owns his own business"
mi sugerencia seria, Mario es el dueno.
Re: "he owns his own business"
But if you say "Mario es el dueño", it's not understood because you'll ask "the owner of what?" It could be of anything (a car, a house, a computer, etc., it doesn't imply that he's the owner of specifically a business).
Re: "he owns his own business"
tienes toda la razon seria, Mario posee su propio negocio
Re: "he owns his own business"
Es que ahí volveriamos al principio.
Por eso las opciones de "tiene su propio negocio" o "tiene un negocio"
Re: "he owns his own business"
En mi humilde opinión, yo diría que depende del contexto. 'Tiene un negocio' es más informal, mientras que 'Tiene su propio negocio' no tanto. Depende de lo que está traduciendo ESOLC.Originally Posted by sweetcamy

edit: 'Tiene su propio negocio' is more formal than 'Tiene un negocio'. What is the context of what you're trying to translate?

Re: "he owns his own business"
Mario el que posee su propio negocio
Re: "he owns his own business"
That does not sound smooth in Spanish, or there's punctuation missing.
Mario, el que posee su propio negocio (sounds like a question)
