What part of the sample sentence in Spanish implies "the market" part in English?

seems the type of "survey", in this case a "market survey", is implicit
given that the thrust is "poner un negocio".

And it looks like Mr. Bot did not include the word "survey" in its definitions....

Eh, Mr. Bot?

@Lou Ann: word by word, it should have been "un sondeo de mercado" but as hermit said, "de mercado" is already implicit by "poner un negocio".

When you have an endoscopy done you have a probe inserted in your mouth........does it translate to......Cuando le hacen la endoscopía se le introduce un(a) sondeo/sonda ?????????????

Thanks!
