Usage Note

Cuestión means a question in the sense of an issue or matter to be resolved — it is not used for a simple question you ask someone (use pregunta for that). Es cuestión de tiempo = 'it's a matter of time'. Poner en cuestión means 'to call into question'. The plural cuestiones often translates as 'matters' or 'issues' in formal discourse.

Examples

"Es una cuestión muy compleja."

Natural Translation

It is a very complex matter.
