B1 Collocation 正式

Schwierigkeiten bereiten

to cause difficulties

意思

To create problems or obstacles for someone.

🌍

文化背景

Germans value 'Sachlichkeit' (objectivity). Using this phrase allows you to complain about a situation without sounding like you are personally attacking someone. In Austria, you might hear 'Umstände machen' more often in social contexts to avoid sounding too direct or harsh. Swiss German speakers use this phrase in High German contexts, but in dialect, they might use 'Mühe machen'. In German companies, 'Schwierigkeiten bereiten' is often the first step in a 'Fehleranalyse' (error analysis). It is seen as professional to name the difficulty clearly.

💡

Use with Dative

Always remember: Jemandem (Dative) Schwierigkeiten bereiten. If you forget the 'mir' or 'dir', the sentence sounds incomplete.

⚠️

Don't over-formalize

Don't use this with your best friends for small things like 'You're taking too long in the bathroom'. It sounds too stiff.
