We ran into an issue with the software.
This phrasal verb is extremely common in daily use and in workplace.
Native speakers like myself use it because it sounds casual, natural, and conversational.
If you want to sound more fluent, start using run into instead of meet unexpectedly or experience a problem.
Let's try it.
Oh, we ran into a problem.
The Wi-Fi went down.
Oh, we experienced a problem.
The Wi-Fi went down.
Or, oh, I hope I don't run into anyone I know at the store because I'm not dressed for it.
Hope I don't meet anyone unexpectedly that may know me because I'm not dressed for it.
English loves shortcuts, and this is a good one.
Try using run into instead of meet unexpectedly or experience a problem.
I hope you run into a lot of opportunities to use this.
Have a great day, friends.
Try it out.
The more you do, the easier it gets.
