Meaning

Primary

Job

Alternatives

Work, Occupation

Word Type

noun, する verb, の adjective

Explanation

Your "doing actions" are the things you do. What do you say when someone asks "what you do"? You tell them what your job is.

Reading

しごと

Explanation

This word uses the on'yomi reading for 仕 and the kun'yomi reading for 事. Please note that 事 uses the reading こと, which you didn't learn with the kanji, but you have come across it once or twice by now, and because of the way rendaku works, it's changed to the voiced ごと.

Context

Context Sentences

この仕事は、交通ひこみですか?

赤ちゃんの仕事は泣くことです。

The business of a baby is to cry.

「時間内に、この仕事を終えられると思うか?」「さあ、それはどうかな。」

"Do you think we can finish this work in time?" "Well I wouldn’t bet on it."
