Explanation

A big duty is a great duty. It can also be an important task. Think about some kind of big duty you have. Then, think about what an important task it is too. Feel proud of your important task.

Reading

たいやく

Explanation

This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. Since 大 has two on'yomi readings, here's a mnemonic to help you remember which one to use:

You've been assigned the important task of taking care of the local tie yaks (たいやく). Where you're from, tie-wearing yaks are incredibly important, so don't take this great duty lightly!
