khoshtip 2- The problem has to do with him. This one is correct, but it means The problem is about him , not The problem belongs to him , which is a very strange thing to say. Maybe you meant It’s his problem.

I meant, for example, *The problem has relationship to him" or "The problem is related to him". Now what form should I use? I don't know I could to mention my exact meaning or not.

This problem has something to do with him.Still strange. You can directly say "It's his problem."

Not really. if the problem is to do with him, then he is in some way causing the problem. If it is his problem, then he must deal with it.

OK, so when I want to say "this thing is related to that thing", I can say "this thing is to do with that thing" and when I want to say "this thing belongs to that thing", I can say "this thing has to do with that thing", Yes?
