troubled, as in : "She is troubled"

to be troubled (as in to be worried, to be burdened, to be stressed) → gen pwoblèm, gen tèt chaje

She is burdened.
Li gen pwoblèm.  or
Li gen tèt chaje.  or
Tèt li chaje.

Mwen gen pwoblèm.  or
Mwen gen tèt chaje.   or

Fè atansyon ak fi sa.  Li se yon tèt chaje.
