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."
