Hi all! I'm having a conversation with someone and I want to say (Esperante) something along the lines of "My difficulty understanding is threefold. First.... Second.... Third..."

But how do I express the concept of 'threefold'? My instinct is to use the suffix -op-, as in "Mia problemo estas triopa." However, when I type the word "twofold" into Vikia Vortaro, I get "duobla." I don't really know which would be correct, -op- or -obl-, can anyone help?

Thanks! I feel, after thinking about this more, that -obl- is the suffix I want. It seems like -op- would refer more to a 'twosome' or 'threesome' rather than 'twofold' or 'threefold.'
