About

The Chinese idiom **无时无刻 (wú shí wú kè)** is formed through a structure of double negation for emphatic meaning. It literally breaks down as "no time, no moment," but it is almost never used alone. Instead, it functions as the first part of a fixed pattern **"无时无刻 + 不 (bù)"**, where the two negatives (**无...无...** and **不**) cancel each other out to create a strong positive, meaning "all the time" or "without a single moment not." For example, "无时无刻不想你" means "I miss you all the time (there is not a single moment when I am not missing you)." Thus, its formation relies on this specific grammatical framework to express continuous, unbroken action or state.
