Besværligt is a Danish adjective that translates to troublesome, awkward, or difficult. It describes something that presents obstacles, causes inconvenience, or requires significant effort to manage or accomplish.

Similarly, a piece of furniture that is hard to assemble or move could be considered besværligt. In a more abstract sense, a relationship that is fraught with complications or emotional turmoil might also be termed besværligt.
