Eternal means lasting forever, with no end. It's used seriously for things like eternal life or eternal love, and also a little jokingly for things that just feel like they'll never end, like an 'eternal wait' at the doctor's office.
永恆的
組成From a Latin word 'aeternus,' meaning something like 'lasting for an age.' Add -al and you get an adjective.
