Definition
啰唆 (luō suo) means 'long-winded, verbose' (adj.) or 'to nag/talk too much' (v.). It describes speech that is tediously repetitive and annoying to listen to. Compared to 唠叨 (láo dao), which focuses on persistent reminders or scolding, 啰唆 emphasizes the excessive length and repetitiveness of the talk itself. It is commonly used in everyday conversation.
