"The boss describes the work."

Translation: הבוס מתאר את העבודה.

[Theresa754142]

Ha-bos meta’er et ha-avoda.

[Margulya]

why can't say "המנהל מתאר את העבודה"

[ronydimebag]

Should be accepted, guess because it's on beta..

[Margulya]

What does it mean "on beta"?

[ronydimebag]

In development process, not a final product

[NaftaliFri1]

Manager = מנהל

He might be the boss, but it's not the same word.

[ronydimebag]

Agree it's not the exact same meaning, but it is used on a daily spoken language as a synonym - manager / boss.
The Hebrew word, בוס also originates from English, so originally it's not even a word in Hebrew.
Also, the meaning of the word "Boss" - someone who is in charge of me, or "manage" me.

In other words - I'd give it a go, especially if we're dealing with actual daily language.

[NaftaliFri1]

You're making my point. Boss is a more general word for someone who is in charge. These people can have different roles or professions which are more specific, one of which is manager.

[Helen613612]

Just to confuse things further "boss" (American English) may have come from Dutch "baas"

It's helpful to know the precise translations of both Hebrew words :-)

With הבוס מתארת את העבודה
I got "you are missing a space". Can't הבוס be a female word?
Or am I making some other mistake?

[NaftaliFri1]

Would be בוסית, I think, but yes, it can.
