文型

When to use 没A没B Set Phrases like 没完没了
没A没B is a family of four-character set phrases: 没 goes before each of two related one-syllable words, usually a pair of opposites (大/小, 日/夜, 轻/重) or two parts of one whole (头/脑, 心/肺). Saying 没 twice stresses that something is completely missing, and most of these phrases criticize or complain: 没完没了 “endless”, 没大没小 “no respect for older people”. Learn them as set phrases; you can’t freely make new ones.

よくある間違い
- Don’t swap in 不: the phrase is 没完没了, not 不完不了.
- 没大没小 is not about size: it means being rude to older people. For “just the right size”, say 不大不小.
- Keep the fixed order: 没日没夜, not 没夜没日.
