뜻
Asks if someone is feeling fatigued.
문화적 배경
In the '996' work culture, asking {累不累|lèi bù lèi} is a common way to bond over shared exhaustion. The tone is often softened with particles like {喔|ō} or {耶|yé}, making it sound more gentle. Parents often ask this instead of saying 'I love you.' It's a pragmatic form of affection. People post pictures of their busy lives with the caption '{累不累|lèi bù lèi}？' as a way to seek validation or sympathy.
Add a particle
Add {呀|ya} at the end to sound more caring and less like an interrogation.
Don't use with 'ma'
Remember: {累不累|lèi bù lèi} already has the question built-in. No {吗|ma} needed!
