What's the difference between these two words?
Hello, I know that people can use 일하다 to say things like 나 일해요, and I know that 일 means work in Korean.

Answer

1. Work: 근무
2. Job: 직업
3. Operation: 작업

일 is more wide meaning, so it may use 1-3.

1. 나는 오늘 근무해, 나는 오늘 일해
2. 아이들을 가르치는 것이 내 일이다.
3. 내일 제초작업을 해야한다. 내일 풀을 뽑는 일을 해야한다.

Answer

일 : not Chinese word
작업: (作業) :  work
                      Job
                      operation
