problems
Obstacles requiring solutions
Problems are difficulties, obstacles, or situations requiring resolution.
A math problem needs solving; a personal problem needs addressing.
The word often implies something wrong: We have a problem with the plumbing.
To say someone has a problem with something means they object to it or struggle with it: Do you have a problem with that?
In slang, no problem dismisses thanks or concern.
