So, let’s talk about useful phrases to give some information about what you actually do at work. One very common thing you might want to say is: I’m responsible for… or I’m in charge of…

How would you say that in Luxembourgish?

There are actually several ways to express this, and in this context, responsabel, zoustänneg, and verantwortlech are synonyms. You can use:

Ech si responsabel fir … / zoustänneg fir … / verantwortlech fir …

One little detail to remember: with responsabel, zoustänneg, and verantwortlech, we use the preposition fir, meaning for.

So I’m responsible for the sales team is

→ Ech si fir d’Verkafsekipp zoustänneg / responsabel / verantwortlech.

Now, there’s another useful expression you can use when you want to emphasise that you lead or manage a team or an area of work: ech leeden …

So instead of saying Ech si fir …. responsabel, you could say

→ Ech leeden d’Verkafsekipp.

So remember: responsabel, zoustänneg, and verantwortlech are synonyms meaning to be responsible for or in charge of, while leeden specifically emphasises the idea of leading or managing.

Beispiller:

Ech si fir de Courrier responsabel / zoustänneg. – I’m responsible for the mails

Ech sinn zoustänneg / verantwortlech fir d’Clienten ze betreien. – I’m responsible for looking after the customers.

Ech si fir d’Finanzen vun der Firma responsabel / verantwortlech. – I’m in charge of the finance of the company

Another good phrase is I take care of or I handle this is in Luxembourgish:

Ech këmmere mech ëm ….

Here again we use a preposition, namely ëm: Ech këmmere mech ëm

Beispiller:

Ech këmmere mech ëm d’ Emaile vun de Clienten. – I take care of clients emails

Ech këmmere mech ëm d’Bestellungen vum Bürosmaterial. – I handle the office supplies orders.

Another great phrase you can use is my main responsibilities include…, and then you can mention two or three of your most important tasks.

In Luxembourgish, we use the plural when we’re talking about your responsibilities at work in the sense of the tasks or areas you are in charge of.

So you can say:

Meng Haaptresponsabilitéite sinn … – my main responsibilities are …

Or:

Meng wichtegst Responsabilitéite sinn … – my most important responsibilities are …

You can then continue by listing your main tasks.

Beispiller:

Meng Haaptresponsabilitéite si Clienten ze treffen, Rapporten ze schreiwen an d’Terminer ze organiséieren. – .My main responsibilities include meeting clients, writing reports, and organizing schedules.

Meng wichtegst Responsabilitéite sinn d’Betreiung vun de Clienten an d’Organisatioun vun de Reuniounen. – My most important responsibilities include looking after clients and organising meetings.

Let’s now talk about different kinds of job responsibilities. Some people work with people, some work with numbers, some work with files or products.

So, let’s break it down.

If you work with people, you might say,

Ech schwätze mat Clienten. – I talk to customers.

Ech ënnerstëtzen d’Membere vun eisem Team. – I support our team members.

Ech leede Reuniounen. – I lead meetings.

If you work with numbers, maybe you say,

Ech preparéiere Budgeten. – I prepare budgets.

Ech kontrolléieren d’Verkafsdaten. – I check sales data.

Ech iwwerpréiwen d’Depensen. – I track expenses.

And if you work with documents, you can say,

Ech aktualiséieren Donnéeën. I update records.

Ech organiséieren Dossieren. – I organize files.

Ech préiwen Kontrakter.– I review contracts.

People who manage projects: Then they can say

Ech geréieren d’Délaien. – I manage timelines.

Ech këmmere mech ëm d’Kommunikatioun mat de Clienten. – I handle communication with clients.

Another helpful phrase is a big part of my job is

E groussen Deel vu menger Aarbecht ass …

Beispiller:

E groussen Deel vu menger Aarbecht ass, mat Fournisseuren ze schwätzen. – A big part of my job is talking to suppliers.

E groussen Deel vu menger Aarbecht ass, Problemer vu Clienten ze léisen. – A big part of my job is solving customer problems.

It shows responsibility and teamwork. It also sounds good in interviews.

What about job interviews? If someone says, “Tell me about your current responsibilities.” What should you do?

The key is to give a short, organised answer. Start by saying what your role is, then mention your main responsibilities, and finally add one or two specific details or examples.
