Questions & Answers about kono shigoto o sassato owaraseyou.
Because この is a demonstrative adjective, so it directly modifies the noun that follows it.
- この仕事 = this job / this work
- You do not say このの仕事
Compare:
- この仕事 = this job
- その仕事 = that job
- あの仕事 = that job over there
If これ were used instead, it would stand alone as a pronoun:
- これは仕事です = This is work / This is a job
So in this sentence, この仕事 is the natural way to say this work.
を marks the direct object of the verb. In other words, it marks the thing being acted on.
Here, the action is 終わらせよう = let’s finish / let’s bring to an end, so the thing being finished is:
- この仕事を = this job / this work
So the structure is:
- この仕事を = this job
- 終わらせよう = let’s finish it
A very literal breakdown would be:
- As for this job, let’s finish it quickly
But in natural English, that becomes something like Let’s finish this work quickly.
