Hello everyone!
Can I use the adjective DROWN-OUT in meaning LONG?
For example: a drown-out sound / story / trip
Thank you

"Drown out" is a phrasal verb that means to make a sound impossible to hear by making another sound that's louder. The adjective phrase you're looking for is "drawn-out."

I don't think so because drown out is (of a sound) to be loud enough to drown other sound

I have never seen or heard drown out being used as an adjective. It is normally a verb.

I use headphones to drown out the noise around me when I ride the bus.
