You can use 所有 (suǒyǒu) to say "all of" something. It's what you use to say phrases like "all the money in the world" or "all of my friends."
|
||
|
||
## Basic Pattern
|
||
|
||
### Structure
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
### Examples
|
||
|
||
- 你 买 了 她 _所有 的_ 书 ？
|
||
<!-- - Nǐ mǎi le tā _suǒyǒu de_ shū? -->
|
||
- You've bought all her books?
|
||
- 我 喜欢 _所有_ 我 妈妈 做 的 菜 。
|
||
<!-- - Wǒ xǐhuan _suǒyǒu_ wǒ māma zuò de cài. -->
|
||
- I like all the food my mom cooks.
|
||
- 他 记得 _所有_ 朋友 的 生日 。
|
||
<!-- - Tā jìde _suǒyǒu_ péngyou de shēngrì. -->
|
||
- He remembers all of his friends' birthdays.
|
||
- 我 的 孩子 看 过 _所有_ 的 迪斯尼 动画片 。
|
||
<!-- - Wǒ de háizi kàn guo _suǒyǒu_ de Dísīní dònghuàpiàn. -->
|
||
- My child has seen all of the Disney animated films.
|
||
|
||
## Full Sentence Pattern
|
||
|
||
When you make 所有 part of the subject, you're typically going to need 都 before the predicate.
|
||
|
||
### 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.
|
||
|
||
### Examples
|
||
|
||
- _所有_ 人 **都** 走 了 吗 ？
|
||
<!-- - _Suǒyǒu_ rén **dōu** zǒu le ma? -->
|
||
- Did all the people leave?
|
||
- _所有 的_ 学校 **都** 放假 了。
|
||
<!-- - _Suǒyǒu de_ xuéxiào **dōu** fàngjià le. -->
|
||
- All the schools are out for the holiday.
|
||
- 我们 学校 _所有 的_ 老师 **都** 会 说 英文 。

||
## "Not All" with 不是所有的

||
|
||
Take note that you use 不是 rather than just 不 to negate 所有.
|
||
|
||
### Structure

||
|
||
