Helen Zhang (Chinese Teacher) says
日不暇给 (rì bù xiá jǐ) 日 (rì): refers to the day. 不 (bù): a negative adverb. 暇 (xiá): means free. 给 (jǐ): means is enough. We use this Chinese idiom to express that there are too many things to do, but there isn’t enough time.

"I was learning Chinese by myself but I was often confused. I thought I needed some sort of help from experienced teachers. The best thing about your approach is that the teacher explains every word and sentence clearly!"
