# endlessly

adverb

«endlessly» in the English dictionary: everyday — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## Everyday

1. Without ever stopping or ending; for what seems forever. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/E/endlessly/#m1)
2. Very much, without limit, as in «endlessly patient». [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/E/endlessly/#m2)

### In the lessons

Often used in stories with a slight exaggeration: «talked endlessly», «the road stretched endlessly». In maths, numbers go on endlessly (there is no biggest number), and some decimals like 1/3 = 0.333… go on endlessly.

### Note

Adverb from «endless» (without end). Often an exaggeration in everyday talk: it just means «for a very long time». In maths, «endlessly» or «infinitely» is literally true for number lines and repeating decimals.
