About this pattern

Explanation

だらけ is used to describe something that is filled with or covered by a large amount of something, usually something undesirable or negative. It emphasizes abundance or excess rather than a simple state. It often carries a slightly negative nuance, like “scattered with” or “littered with,” and is common in everyday spoken Japanese as well as writing.
