意味

Limitless; endless; boundless; infinite. Describes something that has no discernible end or boundary, often used in emotional and poetic registers.

An i-adjective formed from 限り (limit, extent) and ない (negation). Emphasises the vastness or inexhaustibility of something — love, gratitude, sky, or potential. More literary and emotionally resonant than 無限の (infinite/unlimited), which is more technical. Frequently appears in formal speeches, poetry, and literary prose.

例文

1. 両親への感謝の気持ちは限りない。
2. 宇宙の広さは限りないと感じさせる星空だった。
3. 彼女の才能には限りない可能性が秘められている。
