How it's used
Focuses on the persistence of an event across consecutive days, often implying a sense of fatigue or accumulation. It is more formal than simply saying 好多日, making it common in news reports or when describing situations that have become problematic due to their duration.
Examples
It has been raining for days, which is really annoying.
You haven't been to work for several days, what happened?
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using this as a direct substitute for everyday duration phrases like 幾日 or 好多日 in casual conversation, as it carries a slightly more serious or literary tone that can sound stiff if used to describe trivial activities.
