Difficult or strenuous labor.
Contexte culturel
In Armenian villages, 'ծանր աշխատանք' is a daily reality. Neighbors often help each other with 'ծանր' tasks like harvesting, a tradition called 'mshakuyt'. The phrase is often used in success stories to explain how families built new lives in the US, France, or Russia. During the Soviet era, 'ծանր աշխատանք' was glorified in propaganda as the duty of the proletariat. In the booming IT sector, the phrase is now applied to 'mental heavy lifting' and long coding sessions.
