Definition
漫长 describes a period of time, journey, or process that feels very long and seemingly endless. Unlike 无穷 (boundless, inexhaustible — used for abstract endlessness like power or space) and 无边无际 (a set phrase for vast physical spaces), 漫长 is the specific adjective for long-duration experiences.
