that we usually use in combination with “that-clauses.”
All right? Let’s master the rhythm and feel it.

※ the thing is, the thing is
・The thing is that 〜.
・The thing is that 〜.

※ the issue is, the issue is
・The issue is that 〜.
・The issue is that 〜.

Roza

▶︎ Great work.

Ending

Onishi
▶︎ Hey, guys. “The problem is” and “the issue is ” – they share the same
translation sometimes, right? What’s the difference?

David
▶︎ Ah 〜, good question. See, “issues” and “problems” can both be
big or small. But “problems” feel more serious. “Issues” require discussion.
“Problems” require solving.

Roza
▶︎ Also if you use the word “problem,” it does have a more negative feeling.
So you can say the same kind of feeling. But if you don’t feel anything negative,
you can say the word “issue.”
