工作量 (gōngzuòliàng, "workload") combines 工作 (gōngzuò, "work") with 量 (liàng, "amount"), so it names how much work must be handled.

Usage tips

  • The Chinese contrast between 工作量 (gōngzuòliàng, "workload") and 工作时间 (gōngzuò shíjiān, "working hours") helps separate having many tasks from spending many hours at work.
