Showing no mercy or pity

Not showing any kindness or pity to other people.

نمط الاستخدام: [someone] is merciless (to/toward [someone])
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes use "merciless" when they only mean "strict". "Merciless" is stronger and suggests being very cruel, with no pity, not just following rules carefully. Also, do not say "more merciless" in most cases; use "even more cruel" instead, or just "absolutely merciless".
المرادفات
cruel (General word for causing pain or suffering without caring; slightly more common and basic than "merciless".) | ruthless (Stresses doing whatever is needed to succeed, with no concern for others' feelings; often used in business or competition.) | pitiless (Very close in meaning; slightly more literary and strongly emphasizes the total lack of pity.)
الأضداد
merciful (Direct opposite; stresses showing kindness or forgiveness when you could be harsh.) | compassionate (Focuses on feeling and showing sympathy for others’ suffering, the emotional opposite of being merciless.) | lenient (Opposite in contexts of punishment or discipline, meaning not as strict or harsh as you could be.)

Extremely harsh and relentless

Very strong and harsh in a way that does not stop or give relief, for example heat, work, or pressure.

نمط الاستخدام: merciless [weather/pressure/heat/schedule]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes confuse this sense with the personal, "cruel" sense and avoid using it for weather or schedules. In modern English it is common and natural to call things like heat, pressure, or competition "merciless" to show they are very harsh and do not let you rest.
المرادفات
relentless (Very close meaning; stresses that something never stops or eases up.) | harsh (Less strong and more general; can describe many unpleasant conditions, not always as extreme as "merciless".) | brutal (Informal but common; suggests very severe or painful conditions, similar emotional strength to "merciless".)
الأضداد
mild (Opposite when talking about weather or levels of difficulty; suggests gentle and not strong.) | gentle (Opposite when talking about treatment or conditions that are soft, kind, or not severe.)
