Hello,

Does "burning" colocate with "problem"
for the meaning of pressing problem ?

Cheers,

Cheers,

I haven't heard of 'a burning problem', 'a burning question' is possible.

Hi Jaskin,

I have heard only for “an acute problem”, “a difficult problem”, “a major problem”, “a pressing problem”, “a serious problem”, an insoluble problem”, “an insurmountable problem”, “a complicated problem”, “an involved problem”, “ a knotty problem”, “a thorny problem”, “a delicate problem”, a ticklish problem”,”a minor problem”, “a petty problem”, ”an emotional problem”, “a physical problem”, “a psychological problem”, “a social problem”, “a perennial problem”,:an one-banana problem”, “a banana problem”, “a basic problem”, “a continuous problem”, “a core problem”, “ an economic problem”, “a financial problem”, “a fiscal problem”, “a routine problem”.

I have heard also the expression “burning issue” where “burning” = exigent, desperately, pressing, urgent, badly.

On the second hand “issue” = affair, matter, point, problem, question, topic, subject.

Regards,

V.

It is a common problem when you are trying to burn a CD or a DVD.

"Now it´s burning problem. Everytime I wanna burn my song to a cd is says on the display "burning error" and is stops burn."
