Definition
万万 (wàn wàn) is an adverb used only before a negative to express an extremely strong negation, often with a sense of warning or that something is unthinkable. It is stronger and more urgent than 绝对 (jué duì) and more emphatic than 根本 (gēn běn) which means 'at all'. Unlike 绝对, 万万 cannot be used in positive statements.
