Yes it is ' to answer my own question. Found it and other expressions on this page http://www.studyspanish.com/lessons/tenexp.htm Hope this helps someone else.

[PaulineAnn]

Is this one of those expressions using the verb "tener" like saying how old you are. Tengo cinco años. I would l like to know.

[pdmontesinos]

yeah is kinda like an exception, there's a bunch of them

[brentmcd]

"My business has success" should be accepted.

[I.Am.A.Diva]

Pretty sure I was asked a similar question earlier and for "empresa" I had to use "exitosa". Confused.

[JJvH1991]

"My company has success" is a better translation than the one provided, I'd judge, or correct at the very least.

[ConfusionMatrix]

It's a more literal translation, but "My company is successful" sounds much more natural to me.

'my company has success' is now accepted as a correct translation 4-Apr-2014

[Cazador_cuatro]

not anymore... marked wrong 5/11/2018

[Daveduck]

Pity, since it sounds pretty odd in English.

What is wrong with my effort "my enterprise is a success".

[Lrtward]

That would be "Mi empresa es un éxito". Very similar, I'll grant you, but expressed slightly differently.

[Tohabath]

What about "my enterprise has success"?

[jfGor]

The problem is that Spanish has many idiomatic expressions which use tener but translate into English with the verb 'to be'. 'tener éxito= to be successful
There are other idiomatic expressions with tener as well: It best to use them.

I translated it that way, and apparently it's acceptable.

[TonyGolda]

I also answered my company is a success and it was not accepted. I've reported it today 11/3/14

[elmsley1]

Today I answered 'my company is successful' and it accepted it. Perhaps it was your report that led to that.

[Phrontistery]

I typed: "My enterprise is successful." but Duolingo marked as incorrect...even though empresa literally means enterprise. (grumble)

[niklasmf]

Why is "enterprise" instead of "company" rejected?
