“all” in Latin

omnis (every, all: plur. omnes, all, without exception: opposed to nulli, pauci, aliquot, etc.): cuncti (all collectively, considered as really united: opposed to dispersi, sejuncti. Hence in the sing. it is used only with collective nouns; e.g., senatos cunctus): universus, universi (all, as united in our conception: opposed to singuli, unusquisque. It excludet exceptions like omnes, but with more reference to the whole than to the separate units that compose it). Observe, omnis Italia, geographically: Italia cuncta, figuratively = all the inhabitants of Italy. All, is also expressed strongly by two negatives, nemo non, nullus non, nemo with quin; e.g., all see it, nemo non videt: all did it, nemo est, quin fecerit.

All = each, quisquis: quisque (each one, the predicate being asserted of each and all alike): quivis (any one, without selection, but one only): unusquisque (each single one). Thus; in all places, quoque loco. I had rather suffer all manner of evils, quidvis malo pati.

When ALL stands with an adjective to denote a whole class, the Romans generally made each individual prominent by the use of the superlative with quisque: all the best men, optimus quisque.

ALL = whoever, whatever, quicumque: all, who were engaged, will know, quicumque proelio interfuit; sciet: sometimes quod (with est or habeo) with the genitive. All the time I can spare from my forensic labors, quod mihi de forensi labore temporis datur: I sent to the Praetors to bring you all the soldiers. they had, ad Praetores misi, ut, militum quod haberent, ad vos deducerent.

ALL = any, after without (e.g., “without all doubt”), ullus (for which the comic writers and Ov. sometimes use omnis). If a negative precedes, aliquis or omnis.

All in all, or ALL used substantively, may be translated in various ways; e.g., his son is all in all to him, filius alicui unus omnia est; filium fert or gestat in oculis: he has lost all, eversus est fortunis omnibus.

AT ALL, omnino: prorsus: after negatives, nihil (the negative being untranslated): never at all, omnino nunquam: nothing at all, omnino nihil: nowhere at all, omnino nusquam: hardly, if at all, vix, aut omnino non: not much, if at all, non multum, aut nihil omnino.

At all times, omni tempore: semper.

With CAN, COULD. All I can, quantum possum or (if relating to the future) potero. I would strive all that ever I could, quantum maxime possem contenderem. All that in me lies, or is in my power, quantum in me erit (relating to the future). He did all he could to overthrow the state, rempublicam, quantum in ipso fiut. evertit: to labor all I can, quantumcumque possim, laborare.

TO BE ALL ONE. It is all one to me, nihil mea interest or refert (it is all one to Caius. nihil Caii interest or refert): aliquid negligo, non or nihil curo; aliquid mihi non curae est: it is all one to him what people think of him, negligit, non or nihil curat, quid de se quisque sentiat.

FOR ALL (1) =although, Vid :: (2) in spite of, adversus: he is a fool for all his age and gray hairs, stoltus est adversus aetatem et capitis canitiem. Some times by in with the ablative (e.g., noscitabantur tamen in tanta deformitate, for all their pitiable appearance): for all that, tamen; nihlio secius; nihilo minus.

While - all the while (as used to point out the coexistence of two states, etc., that should not coexist): cum interea or cum only; e.g., bellum subito exarsit - cum Ligarius, domum spectans, nullo se negotio implicari passus est (“while Lig. all the while, “, etc.).

ALL ALONG, semper (always): continenter (uninterruptedly; incessantly).

ALL AND EACH, omnes ac singuli; singuli universique.

ALL, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, omnes ad unum, or (less commonly) ad unum omnes (here unum is neuter, but now and then agrees with the substantive: as, naves onerariae omnes ad unam sunt exceptae, Cic., Lentul, in Cic. Ep., 12, 14, 2).

NOT AT ALL (in answers), non: minime vero: minime.... quidem: also immo: immo vero: immo enim vero: immo potius (with an assertion of the opposite of that which the question implies). Instead of non only, non with the verb of the question is mostly used: non irata es? not at all! non sum irata! don’t yoxi believe this? an tu haec non credis? not at all! minime vero!num igitur peccamus? not at all! minime vos quidem! siccine hunc decipis? not at all; it is he who is deceiving me, immo enim vero hic me decipit. No; not so at all! non ita est. It is not so - not at all! non est ita! - non est profecto.

ALL THE BETTER, tanto melior! (a conversational form of approbation or encouragement, Plaut.: omnes sycophantias instruxi et comparavi, quo pacto ab lenone auferam hoc argentum: tanto melior! Vid: Freund’s Lex., tanto).
