The collective noun trouble or troubles refers to obstacles, sorrows, losses, etc.

a trouble can be a specific obstacle, hindrance, or burden.

if someone or something causes you grief you could say they are:

troublesome (meddling, nuisance, mischievous)

or "troubled" which is usually understood as "mentally ill" but when talking about something other than people can mean "labored" or "delayed"

@zoebaker I would say it sounds a bit unnatural. "Big trouble" is more for describing things that are dangerous or illegal. "smuggling is big trouble" "riding your motorcycle without a helmet is big trouble"

"a big trouble" sounds like "a difficult task" or "a huge burden" but we would probably say one of those instead of "a big trouble"

you can also say something is "too much trouble" or "more trouble than it is worth" if you're feeling particularly vexed by something
