Definition
没完没了 is a colloquial set phrase meaning 'endlessly, incessantly', often used to complain about something that drags on annoyingly (e.g., arguments, phone calls). It differs from 不止 (bù zhǐ), which can also mean 'more than' and is more neutral, and from 不已 (bù yǐ), which is formal/literary and used in written descriptions of continuous action.
