* * *= dilemma, issue, problem, rough spot, snag, bug, hitch, mischief, trouble spot, tyranny, catch, tribulation, show-stopper [showstopper], hassle, rub, kink, kicker.Ex: Unfortunately documents which present dilemmas in the selection of author headings are present in even the smallest library collections.
Ex: These issues are reviewed more thoroughly in chapter 10.Ex: When the cataloguer turns to the description of a piece of music a common problem will be the absence of a title page to be used as the chief source of information.Ex: But despite the many catalog worlds, and herein lies the rub -- or at least a rough spot -- we have been proceeding on the assumption that the catalog exists in the form of the data distributed by the Library of Congress.Ex: Another snag was the existence of entrenched divergent cataloguing habits among the multinational staff, not to mention their fear of the unknown = Otro problema era la existencia de hábitos de catalogación divergentes y ya arraigados entre el personal multinacional, por no mencionar su miedo hacia lo desconocido.Ex: A bug is an error in a program or an equipment malfunction.Ex: Keeping pace with these changes may well mean more work than the seven year hitch experienced by DC users.Ex: The author discusses the characteristics of programs designed specifically to cause mischief to computer owners who download and run the programs = El autor analiza las características de los programas diseñados específicamente para causar problemas a los propietarios de ordenadores que los descargan y ejecutan.Ex: The statistics collected served as an early warning signal for trouble spots.Ex: Information access, such as satellites, overcomes the tyranny of distance for students, teachers and researchers in Australasia.Ex: Whilst these achievements are commendable, there is a catch in them -- there can be used to 'intensify' the economic exploitation of women.Ex: The author discusses the tribulations of equipment selection.Ex: In engineering use, a show-stopper is usually some aspect of a project that is so bad that it threatens to cancel the project unless it is corrected.Ex: The article is entitled 'How to implement electronic subscriptions replacing the routing list hassle'.Ex: But as elegant and efficient as this seems, this strategy has a rub - you've got to have technology to track shipments, since you're ultimately responsible for purchases, warranties and returns.Ex: However, like any emerging technology, there are still a few kinks in the system.Ex: The kicker is that this type of money transfer service is less convenient and no safer than many online money transfers.* abordar un problema

Tener tiene dos traducciones básicas: to have o to have got. Esta segunda se usa casi únicamente para expresar posesión y solo en el presente: Tengo un coche nuevo. I have got a new car.
La primera se usa en sentido más general: Va a tener un problema. He's going to have a problem. Recuerda que la forma interrogativa de I have got es have I got?, mientras que la forma interrogativa de I have es do I have?
Cuando tener significa sentir, se traduce por el verbo to be: Tengo hambre. I am hungry.
