How to say "Be" in Japanese

When translating "be" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between 困る and 見つかる. In Japanese, 困る (こまる (komaru)) is typically associated with "to be troubled, to be in difficulty" (Syllabus Level: N4) and represents Intransitive verb. Used to express being in a difficult, embarrassing, or problematic situation. Often used when one doesn't know what to do.. On the other hand, 見つかる (みつかる (mitsukaru)) maps to "to be found; to be discovered (intransitive)" (Syllabus Level: N4) and represents Intransitive verb. Used when something that was lost or hidden becomes found or discovered, often without a direct agent or from the perspective of the item being found. The subject is the item that is found. The transitive counterpart is 見つける. A literal translation of "be" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
