Usage notesEdit
- The bare form all is used with articles and pronouns, which it precedes (as in English). For instance: all die Sachen (“all the things”); all dies[es] Gerede (“all this chitchat”); all[e] meine Freunde (“all my friends”) (more common with the e). Colloquial German often uses the adjective ganz instead: die ganzen Sachen; dies[es] ganze Gerede; meine ganzen Freunde.
- If all is followed by an adjective, the adjective is declined weakly: alle guten Sachen (“all good things”), alles Gute (“all the best”)
