意思
Tasks that require significant effort.
文化背景
In the highlands, 'kebad sira' often refers to the traditional way of plowing fields with oxen, a task that requires immense physical coordination and strength. The Gurage are famous for their 'sira-wedaj' (work-loving) culture. For them, 'kebad sira' is a point of pride and a path to social mobility. In the capital, 'kebad sira' is frequently used to describe the 'hustle'—balancing multiple jobs or navigating complex bureaucracy. Preparing a traditional coffee ceremony is considered 'kebad sira' because it involves roasting, grinding, and brewing in three stages, taking up to two hours.

Don't over-complain
While it's a common phrase, saying it too much about small tasks can make you sound lazy.
