Usage Note

Problematica (f) refers to a set of related issues or a complex of problems, not a single problem — for one problem, use problema (m). Ironically, problema is a masculine noun despite ending in -a (Greek origin), while problematica is genuinely feminine. The plural is problematiche.

Examples

"La problematica è molto complessa."

Natural Translation

The issue is very complex.
