sandman85:How do you express the "There" of this sentence in Esperanto? Would the translation really just be Estas problemo?Yes, that's all there is to it. I might be inclined to say "Ekzistas problemo", but that's a matter of personal taste.

Ekz. Estas problemo may mean It's a problem. So it's better to use "ekzisti" in that case.

黄鸡蛋:Estas problemo may mean It's a problemIt shouldn't. You'd have to say "tio estas problemo" in that case, I think. I'm not sure I can imagine a situation in which "estas problemo" can be read in both ways and according to the way you read it, you give a very different turn to the overall meaning.
So it's better to use "ekzisti" in that case.To be sincere, I've never seen "ekzistas problemo" used. I think I would go with "ni/mi havas problemon", or if I am supposed/inclined to provide an explanation right away, "estas jena problemo: ..." or "estas problemo je tio, ke..."

mnlg:To me "it's a problem" and "there's a problem" seems the same... And "estas problemo" can mean both, especially when you say "Estas problemo, ke...".So it's better to use "ekzisti" in that case.To be sincere, I've never seen "ekzistas problemo" used.
