"我们的老板很麻烦。"

Translation: Our boss is annoying.

[WillowsofXihu]

I feel this sentence has several issues. 麻烦 is closer to "troublesome" than "annoying", and "我们的老板给我们(添)很多麻烦" (Our boss makes a lot of trouble for us/gives us a lot of trouble) is much more natural of a sentence than directly using 麻烦 to describe someone.

[KX3.]

Yes, so I take it as a very colloquial sentence, since, although 烦人 is the accurate phrase, I hear many people describing someone as 麻烦.

[RaphaelNing]

Right, I'd say both are possible. 麻烦 is troublesome, e.g. the person often comes to you with new demands. There's a more colloquial term with the same meaning in Beijing dialect: 事儿 ("我老板很事儿"). 烦人 is annoying, e.g. the person keeps talking to you about something you don't want to hear, and you find that very disturbing.

Lol!

[JeffersonM376619]

troublesome or difficult are both better translations than annoying

[MicahLiuba1]

I got this one wrong because my boss is forever annoying kitty cats.

I see "tricky" doesn't quite fit here. Unless your boss is J.R. Ewing.

Another meaning listed in the lesson is 'tricky', so it should either be accepted here, or deleted as a possible meaning.
