一切
yī qiè
In real, traceable use. Part of the curated seed collection; community review is coming.
Everything, all: the whole of what there is. It stands alone as a pronoun, often followed by 都: 一切都好 'all is well'. It also goes before a noun (一切问题 'all problems') and after 这 (这一切 'all this'). 切 is read qiè here, in the fourth tone.
Tất cả, mọi thứ, mọi sự: toàn bộ những gì có. Dùng một mình như đại từ, sau thường có 都: 一切都好 (mọi việc đều ổn). Cũng đứng trước danh từ (一切问题: mọi vấn đề) hoặc sau 这 (这一切: tất cả những điều này). Ở đây 切 đọc là qiè, thanh 4.
