Profi-Tipp

Collocation Mastery

Learn common collocations like 'with difficulty' (mit Mühe) and 'great difficulty' (große Schwierigkeiten) to sound more natural in German.

Goldene Regel

Gender and Articles

'Schwierigkeit' is feminine (die Schwierigkeit), so always use 'die' or 'eine' unless in plural (die Schwierigkeiten).

Wortursprung

From Latin *difficultas* (hardness, difficulty), from *difficilis* (hard to do), from *dis-* (apart) + *facilis* (easy).

Verwendungshinweise

Used for both concrete obstacles and abstract challenges. In German, 'Schwierigkeit' is the primary translation, but 'Problem' or 'Hindernis' may be used depending on context.
