Comments: | In certain cases, 大変 is better translated as “challenge”, especially in reference to future goal which is difficult to achieve but not impossible. For example: > 売り上げを来年末までに5割あげるのは大変でしょうが、このチームなら出来ると信じています。 would be quite natural to be translated to: > It would be a challenge to achieve 50% increase in sales by the end of next year, but I believe this team can make it. |
