Estoy en problemas

Question

Is this how you say "I'm in trouble?" I hear it, and see it on google. Seems weird.

Answer 1

Yes, weird indeed.

tengo problemas, estoy con problemas, estoy metido en lios...

I can think of many wordings, but not the one you mentionedñ.

Answer 2

"Estoy en problemas" is ok.

Answer 7

Is this how you say "I'm in trouble?"

This was your question, well , the answer is no.

Estoy en problems is how Mexicans say it in spanglish, as it seems. But that does not answer your question. May be you should have asked: Do Mexicans say....then the answer is :yes.

Does not make it any less spanglish but anyway....

Answer 8

I never heard about it either xD

Estoy en problemas (maybe in case, estoy metido en problemas) sounds... just plain weird lol. Like Heidi said, we use

with the verb estar->"Estoy metido en líos" or with the verb tener->"Tengo problemas"
