Questions & Answers about Έχω πολλή δουλειά σήμερα, κι έτσι δεν προλαβαίνω να πάω στο γυμναστήριο.
Because δουλειά is a feminine singular noun, and πολλή is the feminine singular form of πολύς / πολλή / πολύ (much / many / a lot of).
- πολλή δουλειά = a lot of work
- πολύ νερό = a lot of water (neuter noun, so πολύ)
- πολλός κόσμος = a lot of people / many people (masculine noun, so πολλός)
So the adjective has to agree with the noun in gender and number.
Here, δουλειά means work in the general sense of things to do, workload, or tasks, not necessarily just a job.
So Έχω πολλή δουλειά σήμερα means something like:
- I have a lot of work today
- I’m very busy today
- I have a lot to do today
In Greek, δουλειά can mean:
- job / employment
- work
- task
- business / matter in some contexts
Here it clearly means workload.
