Usage Note

Sinfín is always masculine and is used with de followed by a plural noun: un sinfín de problemas ('an endless string of problems'). It is a lexicalised compound of sin (without) + fin (end). Unlike infinidad, which can be more statistical, sinfín tends to emphasise tedious or overwhelming repetition. It does not vary in the plural.
