Hard is an adjective in Portuguese, relating to something that is difficult, tiring, complicated to perform or access.
Etymologically, the word "hard" originated from the Latin arduus, which currently can be related to the characteristic of a job, such as its level of difficulty. For example, when it is said that a certain task or work é hard, means that it is complicated to perform, either because it requires a lot of physical or mental effort.
Example: "Work in the countryside is always physically harder than in the city".
One tough situation is the name used to describe a certain painful, painful or difficult event in someone's life, whether in a personal or professional scope.
Example: "The child's death was the most arduous situation the woman went through".
The term arduous can still mean a difficult access, that is, a steep path or with obstacles. However, it can also connote a progress or stage that is difficult to overcome.
Example: "To get home you have to go through a tough road" or "The path to success is arduous".
