Meanings

1

expression

there is no way that ...; it is impossible that ...; cannot possibly ...

usually written using kana alone

A strong negative judgment by the speaker that something is impossible, unreasonable, or cannot be true. Commonly follows a plain-form verb, adjective, or noun phrase.

2

expression, i-adjective

easy; simple; no trouble

usually written using kana alone

Adjectival use meaning that something presents no difficulty. This can be confused with the much more frequent grammar pattern 'there is no way that ...', so context such as 彼には or そのくらいなら is important.
