Questions or Problems?

有沒有問題? (you3 mei2 you3 wen4 ti2?)

This phrase can be translated in two ways - Is there a problem? or Is there a question?

I focused on how to identify the intention of the speaker - what context clues could let me know which meaning the speaker intended. It was confusing to me that such different ideas could be expressed using the same word.

But I recently listened to an episode of BJJ Mental Models where they talked about reframing problems as puzzles. And that made me realize that when there are problems, there should be questions. Problems should raise questions - if you don’t have any questions around a problem, that problem will never go away.
