落难 means 'to meet with misfortune' or 'to fall into distress'. It is a separable verb (离合词): the verb 落 and the noun 难 can be separated by aspect markers or modifiers, e.g., 落了难 (fell into misfortune). Note: the standard pronunciation is luò nàn, though the input pinyin is là; this may be an error.
