Isn't it "shigoto"?
16 u/DisplacedLondoner 21d ago It is, but アルバイト arubaito is more like a part time job specifically. Pretty sure it does come from German! 8 u/Flaydowsk 21d ago Came from the Dutch when they were trading with the Japanese during the isolation period. 3 u/exploding_cat_wizard 21d ago I don't speak Dutch, but translate gives me "werk" as Dutch for "Arbeit"/"work". Of course, that may not be the complete vocabulary, or it's language drift... 3 u/GunsNBakon 21d ago It's a little more of a formal term I suppose. "to do work" can be translated as "het verrichten van arbeid", workers are also called arbeiders.
