How it's used
Expresses a sense of being overwhelmed by trivial or bothersome tasks rather than just general irritation. It often acts as a summary of a situation where multiple small issues pile up to create a headache. Unlike just saying 煩, this construction emphasizes the quantity or the repetitive nature of the annoyances.
Examples
Having to go to work and then work overtime, it is just so annoying.
Related words
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 麻煩, which functions as a noun or adjective meaning troublesome. While 多煩 describes a state of having many annoyances, 麻煩 is used to describe a person or a specific task that causes trouble.
