"Ми купили все."

Translation: We bought everything.

[TseDanylo]

Who else thought of "все одно"?

[Anna_Elsa_J.]

I did XD I'm addicted to the song called "Все одно" <3 It's one of my reasons to learn this beautiful language :D

[TseDanylo]

Ta kholodu ya ne lyakayusya! :D

[GeneM.]

Pardon me, but who sings this song? I'll try and give it a listen.

[Anna_Elsa_J.]

Ольга Шаніс :D You can check it out here: https://youtu.be/6jKgnyLtfqI And no problem ;)

[GeneM.]

Дуже дякую! Це гарна пісня!

[Anna_Elsa_J.]

Прошу, будь ласка :D

[TARDISToni]

Oh no, it's the Ukrainian version of "Let It Go!" :-D

Just out of curiosity, without having listened to the Ukrainian lyrics, why would they choose "Все одно" for the refrain and title? "Anyway" certainly isn't a direct translation, and "Це нехай" or even "Вiдпусти" would have fit, syllable-wise at least. I know song and movie titles don't always take direct translations, but since this one is very well-known ...

[Tanyabon]

To buy and to purchase are synonyms

[sagitta145]

Not 100% really... They have different feelings and contexts to them... "Purchase" in Ukrainian would be "придбати"

[GeneM.]

Все sounds like це in this sentence. Could this be a problem in real conversation?

[sagitta145]

It doesn't sound like це. It sounds like "фсе" (fseh) because "в" becomes voiceless under the influence of "с" (try and say "vseh", it's hard to make the "v"-->"s" transition from voiced to voiceless)

To practice distinguishing the difference you can compare how Duo says "все" here and this

[Angailin]

In Ukrainian is there one word for "everything" and "everybody"? Just in Russian "все" means "everybody", and in cases like the example we speak "всё".

[sagitta145]

Все/усе = everything

Всі/усі = everyone

[deactivated user]

How come all is not accepted for vse-? It's also unacceptable in Russian. So how would you say I gave you all? Give it your all? Now one may respond with the grammar rules for English, and that's understandable but these statements would not bat an eye in English.

[skstudio]

It was just a missing alternative.

[deactivated user]

oh good. I wasn't even sure if it was correct English that's why I posted that way. thanks a lot.

[skstudio]

Normally "all" is not used on its own (like in this sentence), but I don't think it is completely wrong. A native speaker could help here.

[deactivated user]

I am a native English speaker, but we do break a lot of grammar rules, especially in everyday speech. English grammar is also considered kind of flexible. We bought all, sounds okay but a little strange. I gave you all sounds better. But I don't know if it's considered textbook correct.

[skstudio]

We discussed it internally and the compromise is "We bought it all."

[deactivated user]

oh wow I didn't even think of that. Plus there's an old song by queen: I want it all.
