How it's used

While 沒良心 is the standard written form, Cantonese speakers almost exclusively use the spoken form 冇良心. It is a strong accusation used to criticize someone for being ungrateful or callous, especially towards those who have helped them in the past. Using this term often implies a betrayal of trust or a lack of basic human empathy.

Common mistake

Learners often mistakenly use 冇心肝 as a direct synonym, but 冇心肝 carries a slightly more specific nuance of being ungrateful or lacking a sense of duty toward family or benefactors.
