Italian word

problema

problem

Looks like

problem

a difficulty or challenge

⚠️ The trap

The meaning is identical, but 'problema' is masculine despite ending in -a: 'il problema', 'un problema'. The plural is 'i problemi'. This is a very common gender mistake for learners who expect -a words to be feminine.

To say "a difficulty or challenge" in Italian:

problema (correct)

"problema" in English means:

problem

Example

"Non c'è nessun problema."

"There's no problem at all."
