Scoobyqueen Posted July 24, 2008 at 02:14 PM Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 at 02:14 PM Do 不停 and 不已 have the exact same meaning, and if so is不停 mainly used underlining the negative aspect of doing something continuously whereas不已 might be also used in positive contexts, such as praising someone non-stop. Any comments on this would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As complement 赞叹 不已 (praise ceaselessly) Verb adv As complement 兴奋 不已 (exciting) Verb adv As complement Hope this explain can help you… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
