a bit difficult situation

[sunyaer]

This is a sentence I made up myself.

"This is a bit difficult situation."

This sentence sounds a bit odd with "a bit difficult" describing "situation".

If I wanted to keep "this is ...difficult situation", what would be the word(s) to fit in as to keep the sense of "a bit"?

"This is a bit of a difficult situation."

Does "this is a bit difficult situation" odd to you?

Does "this is a bit difficult situation" odd to you?

Yes, it sounds odd to me.
You could say "This situation is a bit difficult."
Your question exposes the fact that "a bit [adjective]" can be used as a "predicative" adjective (with "is"), but not as an "attributive" adjective (before the noun).

 

[Parla]

Alternatively, you could say:
This is a rather difficult situation.
This is a somewhat difficult situation.
This is a fairly difficult situation.

A bit of a sticky wicket. If you want to use a BE term.
