Je was op zoek naar: chore (Engels - Catalaans)

i find it an awful chore, the services.
em semblen una rutina molesta, els oficis.

but even though this was their only function, it became a chore.
però tot i que aquesta era la seva única funció, es va convertir en una tasca.

as a young girl i was not very interested in doing household chores, which is why my mother gave me the physical tasks like bringing water from the river, which is two hours down and three hours back home.
quan era una nena no m'agradava fer les feines de la casa, i per això ma mare em demanava fer les feines físiques, com portar aigua del riu, que està a dues hores d'anada i a tres de tornada.
