causing problems or difficulty
Causing problems and making something hard to do or deal with.
Vzorec užití:
[something] is troublesome / troublesome [noun]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use *troublesome* when *troubled* is correct. *Troublesome* describes something that causes problems ("a troublesome rule"), while *troubled* describes someone who has problems or feels worried ("a troubled student"). Another confusion is with *difficult* or *annoying*: *troublesome* usually suggests repeated or ongoing problems, not just one moment of difficulty or irritation.
Synonyma
problematic (Often used in more formal or written contexts, especially for issues or policies that cause concern.)
|
difficult (More general and common; does not always suggest ongoing problems the way “troublesome” does.)
|
inconvenient (Focuses more on causing extra effort or minor bother rather than serious problems.)
Antonyma
straightforward (Suggests something is easy to do or understand, with no special problems.)
|
manageable (Emphasizes that something can be handled without much trouble.)

Častá chyba:

For example, "a troublesome child" often makes problems; "a child in trouble" is being punished or needs help.
Synonyma

causing ongoing physical discomfort
Describes a part of the body or a health problem that often hurts or causes discomfort and is not easy to fix.
Vzorec užití:
troublesome [body part/symptom]
Častá chyba:
Learners may use only *hurt* or *painful* and miss the idea that *troublesome* suggests the problem comes back or is hard to control. *Troublesome* is not used for very short, one-time pain; it usually suggests an ongoing problem.
Synonyma
painful (Directly focuses on pain; does not always imply that the pain is long-lasting or hard to treat.)
|
nagging (Informal; suggests a constant, annoying level of pain or discomfort.)
|
persistent (Highlights that the symptom continues over time, but not always that it is hard to manage.)
Antonyma
manageable (Suggests that the pain or symptom can be controlled without much difficulty.)
|
mild (Indicates a low level of pain or discomfort, which is usually not very troublesome.)
