Definition
远非 is a formal adverb used to strongly negate a statement, equivalent to 'far from' or 'by no means' in English. It typically modifies adjectives, verbs, or nominal predicates, often appearing before 不是, 没有, or 所 phrases to emphasize that the reality is the opposite of what might be expected.
