Business – el negocio

(Pronounced neh-goh-syoh)

To remember that business is pronounced neh-goh-syoh (negocio) in Latin American Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

His business made necklaces for goats; the only (negocio) problem was that he had no customers.

Negocio is masculine, so it's el negocio. Imagine an elephant running a business.
