it's no use

Explanation:
it's no use also there's no use
there is no reason to It's no use asking me about it because I don't know anything. There's no use resisting someone so much stronger than you are.

it's no use (doing something)
it is hopeless to do something; it is pointless to do something. It's no use trying to call on the telephone. The line is always busy. They tried and tried, but it was no use.
