Definition
不可估量 is a fixed four-character phrase meaning 'immeasurable' or 'incalculable'. It functions as a verb phrase (v.p.) and is often used to describe the magnitude of abstract concepts like value, influence, loss, or contribution — things that are too large to be numerically estimated. It typically appears in the pattern 造成/带来 + 不可估量的 + noun, or as a predicate after 是 (是 + 不可估量的).
