Usage tips
Word structure
The word consists of the negation 'un-' and the word 'begrenzt' (limited), which comes from 'die Grenze' (the border/limit). So 'unbegrenzt' (unlimited) literally means 'without a limit'.

Die Anzahl der Versuche ist unbegrenzt.
The number of attempts is unlimited.
Use as an adverb
The word 'unbegrenzt' (unlimited) can also be used as an adverb to describe a verb. It then means 'without a time or quantity limit' and remains unchanged.
EXAMPLE

Compare with
unbegrenzt vs endlich
finally / finite
'endlich' and 'unbegrenzt' are opposites when 'endlich' means that something is limited and has an end. 'unbegrenzt' means without a fixed limit, for example with time, quantity, or access. The words can be confusing because 'endlich' very often also means 'after a long wait'. In this case, 'unbegrenzt' is not the right opposite. When you are talking about a limit, you can contrast 'endlich' and 'unbegrenzt'. When you want to express relief, you need 'endlich' on its own.
unbegrenzt
