从来不

• Pinyin: cóng lái bù
• Desglose de hanzi: 从 = from; 来 = come (together: since, always); 不 = not

Significado

Nunca; jamás.

Stronger than just 不, it emphasizes consistency over time. Used for habits, character traits, or historical facts. The past-oriented 从来 combined with 不 creates emphatic negation.
