Questions & Answers about המשרה הזאת נשמעת טובה, אבל שעות העבודה לא כל כך נוחות.
They are related, but not identical.
- משרה means position, post, or job opening.
- עבודה means work or job in a broader sense.
So:
- המשרה הזאת = this position / this job
- שעות העבודה = the working hours / the work hours
A natural way to understand the sentence is:
- the position itself sounds good,
- but the hours are not very convenient.
Because in Hebrew, when you say this/that + noun, the noun is usually definite.
So Hebrew says:
- המשרה הזאת = this position
- literally, something like the position this
This is the normal Hebrew pattern:
- הספר הזה = this book
- הילדה הזאת = this girl
- המשרה הזאת = this position
So the ה־ on משרה is required here.
