Questions & Answers about החיסרון של העבודה הזאת הוא שאין חניה ליד המשרד.

Why does החיסרון have ה־? Is it the disadvantage rather than a disadvantage?

Yes. החיסרון means the disadvantage / the drawback.

In this sentence, it is definite because it is being identified very specifically: the disadvantage of this job. In Hebrew, a noun often becomes definite when it is followed by a phrase like של... that makes it specific.

So:

• חיסרון = a disadvantage
• החיסרון = the disadvantage / the drawback

English might also naturally translate it as The downside of this job is...

Why does Hebrew use של העבודה הזאת here?

של means of or belonging to.

So:

• החיסרון של העבודה הזאת = the disadvantage of this job

This is a very common and natural way in modern Hebrew to show possession or connection.

A native English speaker may expect something more compact, but Hebrew often uses של where English uses of or apostrophe-s.

What does עבודה mean here? Is it work or job?
