Homework at the job

[tigress]

Hi!

I'm learning Japanese since 3 months know and my boss gives me some homework to do. I still have a problem with word order. Can you help me? I can only use Hiragana.

'My job is very hard' > watashi shigoto ha taihen desu.

I don't even know where to add 'very'

I think it should be "watashi no shigoto wa taihen desu."

To answer your question, "taihen" itself means "very hard". So you don't need a modifier word to make it "very".

"大変 【たいへん】 (adv) (1) very; greatly; (adj-na,n) (2) immense; enormous; great; (3) serious; grave; dreadful; terrible; (4) difficult; hard; (5) (arch) major incident; disaster; (P)"

As for why we also need the "no" ( の ) particle... it shows possession basically... it shows that it's YOUR job.

(And I wrote "wa" for は because that's how it's pronounced when used as a particle. (otherwise it is the kana for "ha" when not used as a particle) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepburn_ro ... #Particles )

I hope this helps answer your question!

Hello!

I still have a problem with: 'I made delicious sandwiches'

What sort of problem?
Your sentence should be "Oishii sandoicchi o tsukurimashita"　(美味しいサンドイッチを作りました).
In hiragana "おいしい　さんどいっち　を　つくりました", but "sandoicchi" should be written in katakana, so "おいしい　サンドイッチ　を　つくりました".
