How it's used
Focuses on abstract or conceptual vastness rather than physical distance. It is frequently paired with 盡 to form the four character idiom 無窮無盡 to emphasize that something truly has no end. Use this when describing things like potential, curiosity, or the scale of the universe.
Examples
The universe is infinitely vast, and humans are very small.
They have endless topics to talk about.

Common mistake
Avoid using this for physical distance or travel paths where 冇盡頭 is more natural. It sounds overly formal or literary in casual conversation unless used within the specific idiom.
