How it's used
Often used in idiomatic expressions to describe abstract concepts like power, imagination, or potential rather than physical landscapes. It carries a slightly literary or dramatic tone compared to everyday adjectives, making it effective for emphasis when describing something vast or uncontrollable.
Examples
This sea is truly boundless, I cannot see the end of it.
His imagination is limitless, he is always thinking of weird things.

boundless and limitless
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the colloquial expression 冇邊個, which means 'not many people' or 'hardly anyone'. The latter uses the character 冇 for 'none' or 'not have', whereas 無邊 uses the formal character 無.
