Personal Activities 3

One of the things you want to talk about is how you spend your non-leisure time, i.e. work or education. There are several ways of saying that you are working/you work:

Thero vy o conis …
(SWFM Yth esov vy ow konis.)
I work/labour/cultivate …

Thero vy o lavürya …
(SWFM Yth esov vy ow lavurya.)
I labour/work/toil/slave …

Thero vy o obery …
(SWFM Yth esov vy owth oberi.)
I work/act/create/operate …

Here are some places you can work. Notice that some of them end in -va, which generally indicates a place where something happens. Others end in -jy or ty (forms of chei) indicating a house or building for a particular purpose.
