万万

万万 — absolutely (not)

Pattern

How it works

万万 is an emphatic "absolutely, by any means", and it is almost always negative: 万万不可 "must on no account", 万万没想到 "never in a thousand years expected".

Examples

这种事万万不可再发生。
Zhè zhǒng shì wànwàn bùkě zài fāshēng.
This must on no account happen again.
我万万没想到会是他。
Wǒ wànwàn méi xiǎngdào huì shì tā.
