The Chinese word 好不容易 (hǎo bù róngyì) is a compound of three characters: 好 (hǎo), 不 (bù), and 容易 (róngyì). The character 好 (hǎo) means "good" or "well", while the character 不 (bù) is a negation. The character 容易 (róngyì) means "easy" or "convenient". So, the literal meaning of 好不容易 is "not easy" or "difficult". However, in Chinese, this word is often used to express a sense of relief or gratitude for something that was achieved with great difficulty. For example, a student who has finally passed a difficult exam might say 好不容易考过了 (hǎo bù róngyì kǎoguòle), which means "I finally passed the exam after a lot of hard work".
