This pattern is formal and has sort of a classical feel to it. It's a more condensed form of "没有 [Noun] 可以 [Verb]." 无 (wú) means "to not have" (same as 没有), and 可 can stand in for 可以. This pattern is useful when you want to express that a person is unable to perform the verb because the noun/object is not present.
Structure
无 +Noun + 可 + Verb
Examples
- 我 和 他 无 话 可 说。
- 从 四月份 开始，公司 客户 减少，我 每天 都 无 事 可 做。
- 公司 需要 招聘 新人 了，我 现在 无 人 可 用。
