Definition
疲倦 (pí juàn) means 'tired, fatigued, weary' and is more formal and literary than the everyday word 累 (lèi). It often describes mental or physical exhaustion from prolonged effort, similar to 疲劳 (pí láo) but slightly more intense; 疲惫 (pí bèi) is even stronger, meaning 'drained, exhausted'.
