Definition
别提 is a verb phrase with two distinct uses. Literally it means 'don't mention' or 'no need to bring up,' used to tell someone to drop a topic. More commonly, it appears in the fixed pattern 别提多…了 to mean 'extremely' or 'indescribably' — the speaker is emphasizing that something is so much the case that words can't capture it. The pattern is: 别提 + 多 + adjective + 了.
