businesses

/ˈbɪznəsɪz/

nounbiz · ness · es

Think: “BIZ + NESS + ES” — a lot of BIZ (business) needs NESS (needed) when there are many, so add -ES.

Yes, it's businesses. The tricky part is the sound: it’s pronounced “BIZ-ness,” not “BUSY-ness.” For the plural, add -es: business → businesses.

Definitions
