Common mistakes

Not natural: She has an entrepreneurship.

Better: She has an entrepreneurial spirit.

Entrepreneurship is usually an uncountable activity, not a countable thing preceded by “an.”

Entrepreneurship आम तौर पर uncountable activity है, इसलिए इसके पहले “an” नहीं लगाते।

Not natural: He is entrepreneurship.

Better: He is an entrepreneur.

Use “entrepreneur” for a person; “entrepreneurship” names the activity or field.

व्यक्ति के लिए “entrepreneur” कहते हैं; “entrepreneurship” उस काम या क्षेत्र का नाम है।
