The word 到 (dào) means "arrive," but it can also mean "to reach" or "to get to" in an abstract sense. So in this pattern, 不到 (bùdào) means "to not reach (the amount of)," or, to put it another way, "to be less than."
|
||||
|
||||
## Basic Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Subj. + 不到 + Number + [Measure Word] + Noun
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
- 我 女儿 _不到_ 三 岁 。
|
||||
<!-- - Wǒ nǚ'ér _bùdào_ sān suì. -->
|
||||
- My daughter is not yet three years old.
|
||||
- 我 昨天 睡 了 _不到_ 五 个 小时 。
|
||||
<!-- - Wǒ zuótiān shuì le _bùdào_ wǔ gè xiǎoshí. -->
|
||||
- Yesterday I slept for almost five hours.
|
||||
- 这 件 衣服 花 了 _不到_ 一 百 块 。
|
||||
<!-- - Zhè jiàn yīfu huā le _bùdào_ yī bǎi kuài. -->
|
||||
- On this piece of clothing I spent less than 100 RMB.
|
||||
- 我 家 到 公司 _不到_ 五 百 米 。
|
||||
<!-- - Wǒ jiā dào gōngsī _bùdào_ wǔ bǎi mǐ. -->
|
||||
- My house is less than 500 meters from the office.
|
||||
- 在 美国 ，_不到_ 21 岁 不 能 喝酒 。
|
||||
<!-- - Zài Měiguó, _bùdào_ èrshí-yī suì, bù néng hējiǔ. -->
|
||||
- In the US, if you're under 21 you can't drink alcohol.
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure
|
||||
|
||||
When 不到 (bùdào) is put before a time or a duration of time, it needs to be followed with 就 (jiù). This shows that something (usually referring to the past) has happened earlier than expected.
|
||||
|
||||
Subj. + 不到 + Time + 就 + Predicate + 了
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
- 她 的 病 _不到_ 一个 星期 **就** 好 **了** 。
|
||||
<!-- - Tā de bìng _bùdào_ yī gè xīngqī **jiù** hǎo **le**. -->
|
||||
- Her sickness got better in less than a week.
|
||||
- 他们 认识 _不到_ 两 个 月 **就** 结婚 **了** 。
|
||||
<!-- - Tāmen rènshi _bùdào_ liǎng gè yuè **jiù** jiéhūn **le**. -->
|
||||
- After knowing each other for less than two months they got married.
|
||||
- 李 医生 _不到_ 55 岁 **就** 退休 **了** 。
|
||||
<!-- - Lǐ yīshēng _bùdào_ wǔshí-wǔ suì **jiù** tuìxiū **le**. -->
|
||||
- Dr. Li retired at under the age of 55.
|
||||
- 爷爷 _不到_ 60 岁 **就** 去世 **了** 。
|
||||
<!-- - Yéye _bùdào_ liùshí suì **jiù** qùshì **le**. -->
|
||||
- My grandpa was less than 60 years old when he died.
|
||||
- 老板 _不到_ 30 岁 **就** 有 白 头发 **了** 。
|
||||
<!-- - Lǎobǎn _bùdào_ sānshí suì **jiù** yǒu bái tóufa **le**. -->
|
||||
- My boss is less than 30 years old and already has some gray hair.

|

|

One of the uses of 全 (quán) is to indicate the entirety of something. It could be used for something like a _whole_ household, an _entire_ country, the _whole_ world, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
## Used before Noun
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Simply put 全 in front of the noun you want to emphasize "the whole" of. You cannot use it with 的. Pay attention to the types of nouns you can use with 全, since it is usually paired up with 身 (body), 家 (family), 国 (country), 世界 (world), 天 (day) and the like.
|
||||
|
||||
全 + Noun + 都 + Predicate
|
||||
|
||||
The [predicate](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Predicate) part of the pattern can be a verb or an adjective.
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
- 我们 _全_ 家 _都_ 去 过 北京 。
|
||||
<!-- - Wǒmen _quán_ jiā _dōu_ qù guo Běijīng. -->
|
||||
- Our entire family has been to Beijing.
|
||||
- _全_ 公司 的 人 _都_ 不 喜欢 新 老板 。
|
||||
<!-- - _Quán_ gōngsī de rén _dōu_ bù xǐhuan xīn lǎobǎn. -->
|
||||
- The whole company doesn't like the new boss.
|
||||
- 运动 完 以后 我 _全_ 身 _都_ 是 汗 。
|
||||
<!-- - Yùndòng wán yǐhòu wǒ _quán_ shēn _dōu_ shì hàn. -->
|
||||
- My whole body was sweaty after I finished exercising.
|
||||
- _全_ 校 _都_ 放假 了 。
|
||||
<!-- - _Quán_ xiào _dōu_ fàngjià le. -->
|
||||
- The whole school is on break.
|
||||
- 这个 地方 _全_ 年 _都_ 很 热 。
|
||||
<!-- - Zhège dìfang _quán_ nián _dōu_ hěn rè. -->
|
||||
- This place is hot all year round.
|
||||
|
||||
## Used before Predicate
|
||||
|
||||
### Affirmative Form
|
||||
|
||||
Before a verb 全 can be omitted, but if it is used, the purpose is to emphasize the idea of "all" or "entire."
|
||||
|
||||
#### Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Subj. + 全都 + Predicate
|
||||
|
||||
#### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
- 大家 _全_ _都_ 到 了。
|
||||
<!-- - Dàjiā _quán_ _dōu_ dào le. -->
|
||||
- Everybody has arrived.
|
||||
- 奶奶 的 头发 _全_ _都_ 白 了。
|
||||
<!-- - Nǎinai de tóufà _quán_ _dōu_ bái le. -->
|
||||
- All of grandma's hair has turned white.
|
||||
- 我 妈妈 做 的 菜 _全_ _都_ 好吃 。
|
||||
<!-- - Wǒ māma zuò de cài _quán_ _dōu_ hǎochī. -->
|
||||
- All of the food that my mother makes is tasty.
|
||||
- 作业 _全_ _都_ 做 完 了 吗 ？
|
||||
<!-- - Zuòyè _quán_ _dōu_ zuò wán le ma? -->
|
||||
- Have you finished all your homework?
|
||||
- 你 _全_ _都_ 拿 走 吧。
|
||||
<!-- - Nǐ _quán_ _dōu_ názǒu ba. -->
|
||||
- Take them all.
|
||||
|
||||
### Negative Form: Total Negation
|
||||
|
||||
#### Structure
|
||||
|
||||
When you negate 全都 with 不 or 没 _after_ it, you're not just saying "not entirely," you're saying "_none of it_" or "_not at all_."
|
||||
|
||||
Subj. + 全都 + 不 / 没 + Predicate
|
||||
|
||||
#### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
- 他们 _全_ _都_ 没 去 。
|
||||
<!-- - Tāmen _quán_ _dōu_ méi qù. -->
|
||||
- None of them went.
|
||||
- 这个 周末 我们 _全_ _都_ 不 在 家 。
|
||||
<!-- - Zhège zhōumò wǒmen _quán_ _dōu_ bú zài jiā. -->
|
||||
- None of us will be home this weekend.
|
||||
- 你们 _全_ _都_ 不 怕 吗 ？
|
||||
<!-- - Nǐmen _quán_ _dōu_ bú pà ma? -->
|
||||
- Are none of you afraid?
|
||||
- 这些 菜 _全_ _都_ 没 熟 。
|
||||
<!-- - Zhèxiē cài _quán_ _dōu_ méi shú. -->
|
||||
- None of these dishes is fully cooked.
|
||||
- 他 的 话 我 _全_ _都_ 不 相信 。
|
||||
<!-- - Tā de huà wǒ _quán_ _dōu_ bù xiāngxìn. -->
|
||||
- I don't believe anything he says.
|
||||
|
||||
### Negative Pattern: Partial Negation
|
||||
|
||||
#### Structure
|
||||
|
||||
When you negate by putting 不 or 没 _before_ 全都, you're only _partially_ negating. In other words, you're communicating "_not all_."
|
||||
|
||||
Subj. + 不 / 没 + 全都 + Predicate
|
||||
|
||||
#### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
- 他 说 得 有 道理 ，但 我 不 _全_ _都_ 同意 。
|
||||
<!-- - Tā shuō de yǒu dàolǐ, dàn wǒ bù _quán_ _dōu_ tóngyì. -->
|
||||
- He has a point, but I don't agree with all of it.
|
||||
- 菜 太 多 了 ，我们 没 _全_ _都_ 吃完 。
|
||||
<!-- - Cài tài duō le, wǒmen méi _quán_ _dōu_ chī wán. -->
|
||||
- The food was too much. We didn't finish eating it all.
|
||||
- 昨天 作业 太 多 了 ，我 没 _全_ _都_ 做完 。

||||

|
||||
- I had too much homework yesterday. I didn't finish doing it all.
|
||||
- 我 的 家人 没 _全_ _都_ 来 参加 我 的 婚礼 。
|
||||
<!-- - Wǒ de jiārén méi _quán_ _dōu_ lái cānjiā wǒ de hūnlǐ. -->
|
||||
- Not all of my family came to my wedding.
|
||||
- 你 说 得 太 快 了 ， 我 没 _全_ _都_ 记 下来 。
|
||||
<!-- - Nǐ shuō de tài kuài le, wǒ méi _quán_ _dōu_ jì xiàlái. -->

|
||||
This pattern is used to refer to "all" of a noun, with the quantity of said noun usually being fairly large. You may notice that the 的 after 所有 is occasionally omitted.
|
||||
|
||||
所有 (+ 的) + Noun
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Structure
|
||||
|
||||
所有 (+ 的) + Noun + 都 + Predicate
|
||||
|
||||
The [predicate](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Predicate) part of the pattern can be a verb or an adjective.
|
||||
|
||||
