How it's used
Describes physical objects that are inconvenient to carry or move, as well as abstract situations or people that cause unnecessary trouble. It carries a sense of being an unwanted weight that hinders progress or comfort. Unlike formal descriptions of burden, it is frequently used in casual speech to complain about excess baggage or clutter.
Examples
Bringing so much luggage on a trip is really cumbersome.
This coat is heavy and burdensome, I don't want it.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse it with 麻煩, but 纍贅 specifically emphasizes the feeling of being weighed down or encumbered by something, whereas 麻煩 is a broader term for general annoyance or difficulty.
