About

The word "拗不过" is formed by combining the verb (meaning to bend or resist, here implying stubbornness), the negative particle (meaning not), and the resultative complement (meaning to pass or overcome), resulting in a phrase that literally means "cannot bend past" and idiomatically expresses inability to persuade or prevail against someone's will.
