What English term corresponds to the Spanish 'El Dueno'?

• A. The Manager
• B. The Neighbor
• C. The Owner
• D. The Tenant

Answer: (C)

El dueño denotes the person who owns something—the owner or proprietor. The definite article El means “the,” and dueño carries the sense of ownership, so the natural English translation is the owner. In everyday use, this identifies the person who has legal ownership or control of a property, business, or item. If you were talking about rental properties, you might hear landlord, but the general term remains owner. The feminine form la dueña refers to a female owner. The other roles mentioned would use different Spanish words (for example, gerente for manager, vecino for neighbor, inquilino for tenant), which is why dueño is the correct fit for “the owner.”
