كُلُّهُentirely

Example sentences

• الحركة قبل الطعام خير كله، كما أنها بعده شر كله

  Movement before food is entirely good, just as it is after it entirely evil.

  كُلُّهُ — all of it. This is the emphasiser kull 'all, the whole' with the attached -hu 'it' tied to its end, so the single word means 'the whole of it'. It restates the noun before it to stress totality, and the pronoun reaches back to that noun; Arabic uses this kull-plus-pronoun trick to say 'entirely' or 'every bit of it'.

• الحركة قبل الطعام خير كله، كما أنها بعده شر كله

  Movement before food is entirely good, just as it is after it entirely evil.

  كُلُّهُ — all of it. This is again kull 'all, the whole' with -hu 'it' attached, 'the whole of it', repeating the noun to drive home totality. The pronoun ties back to the badness just named, balancing the identical phrase in the first half of the sentence.
