Work
From Creolista!
noun
Often uncountable. (homework, housework, paperwork, etc.) However, "artworks" can be counted in British English.
Contrast with "job" or "task" which are countable.
verb
An activity verb meaning travailler, but unrelated etymologically to the Latin torture instrument. Instead the word is related to the root "erg" such as can be found in energy, urg<u>ent.
The verb can also mean fonctionner / marcher. This machine doesn't work. (ne fontionne pas) That'll work. (ça marche)
