working

Tính từ[C/U] Cả hai

This term carries a strong sense of utility and practical application. When describing a person or a tool, it suggests a state of active productivity rather than idle existence. It is the opposite of theoretical or decorative, focusing on the tangible output and the mechanical reality of a task. In a social or economic context, it often aligns with the laboring class, evoking images of manual effort, shifts, and the grind of daily employment. It shifts the focus from the status of a job to the actual labor being performed.

Countable when referring to a specific mechanical operation (the workings of a clock). Uncountable when referring to the general state of employment or labor (working is hard).
