没完没了

• 拼音: méi wán méi liǎo
• 汉字拆解: 没 — lacking; 完 = 宀 (roof) + 元 — complete, finished; 了 — completion particle; reduplication creates emphasis

含义

Endless; interminable; going on and on without stopping. Describes something that drags on exhaustingly.

A strongly expressive colloquial phrase used to describe something — a person's complaints, a meeting, a conflict, noise — that never seems to come to an end. Carries a tone of frustration or exhaustion. Very common in spoken Mandarin.

例句

1. 他一旦开始抱怨就没完没了，同事们早已习以为常，只能默默忍受。
2. 这场谈判拖延了数月，双方各执一词，争论没完没了，迟迟达不成共识。
