When you want to say something is difficult to do in Japanese, you can attach the suffix ~にくい (~nikui) to the stem of a verb. For example, if you combine 読 (yo)- (the stem of 読む (yomu) which means "to read") with ~にくい (~nikui), you get 読みにくい (yominikui), meaning "difficult to read."
You can use this for a variety of verbs to express difficulty. Think of it as the opposite of ~やすい (~yasui), which means "easy to do."
