What is the Luhya word for English work?

There isn't a single direct translation for "work" in Luhya that encompasses all the nuances of the English word. The specific word used will depend on the context and type of work being referred to.

Here are some options:

* Khuluma: This generally means "to talk" or "to speak," but in some contexts, it can be used for "work" especially when referring to mental or intellectual labor, like writing or planning.

* Kufanya: This is a general verb meaning "to do" or "to make," and can be used for any kind of work.

* Kutega: This means "to cultivate" or "to farm" and is specifically used for agricultural work.

* Kutima: This means "to build" and is used for construction work.

* Kufua: This means "to wash" and is used for cleaning work.

Example:

* "He is working at the hospital."

* Luhya: "Alikwenda kufanya k'hosbitali." (He went to work at the hospital).

To get the most accurate translation, it's helpful to provide more context about the type of work you are referring to.
