"It's complicated" typically means that a situation, relationship, or issue involves many factors, making it difficult to explain or resolve easily. If you want to express this clearly, you can use it to describe:
- Relationships that are neither clearly defined nor straightforward.
- Problems or decisions with many influencing elements or conflicting interests.
- Any circumstance where a simple yes/no or good/bad answer doesn't capture the truth.
Examples of use:
- "Our relationship status? It's complicated."
- "The project timeline? It's complicated because of unforeseen obstacles."
For clearer communication, try elaborating on the complexities whenever possible.
