How do you read this sentence?
A common reading is:
この しごと には ぎじゅつ が ひつよう です。
Word by word:
- この = this
- 仕事（しごと） = job, work
- には = に
- は
- 技術（ぎじゅつ） = skill, technique, technical ability
- 必要（ひつよう） = necessary, needed
- です = polite sentence ending, is/are
So the whole sentence is read:
このしごとには ぎじゅつが ひつようです。
What is the basic structure of the sentence?
The sentence is structured like this:
この仕事には / 技術が / 必要です。
A very literal breakdown is:
- この仕事には = for this job / as for this job
- 技術が = skill(s) / technical ability
- 必要です = is necessary
So the core pattern is:
A には B が 必要です = B is necessary for A = A requires B
That is why the sentence can naturally mean:
- This job requires skill.
- Technical skill is necessary for this job.
Why is there both に and は after 仕事?
