सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In business, '難しいです' is often a code for 'no'. It is rarely followed by a 'but' because the 'no' is already understood. Students often use '難しいです' to express that they don't understand a concept, which is a signal for the teacher to explain again. Using this phrase helps maintain 'wa' (harmony) by avoiding direct confrontation.

Use '難しいです' to decline invitations without being rude. It is the gold standard for Japanese politeness.
Don't describe people
Never call a person '難しい'. It suggests they are difficult to get along with.
