☆  short-lived  長続きしない

============================

Something that is short-lived doesn’t last very long. So, an example is this week’s useful phrase, “Well, that resolution was short-lived!” In other words, even though we are only just 13 days into January, the resolution to do X is already gone or finished.

You can also talk about a short-lived romance, a romance or relationship that might have only lasted a few weeks. Or someone might have short-lived success at work or their business, which means that they had a big, but brief success. Or a short-lived friendship: a seemingly strong friendship that ends suddenly and quickly.
