All (of some noun): dōu 都 vs. suǒyǒude 所有的 T - Cchatty

All (of some noun): dōu 都 vs. suǒyǒude 所有的

The word dōu 都 (both/all) always follows the noun to which it refers; dōu 都 can NEVER precede a noun!

If you use suǒyǒude 所有的 for emphasis, it comes before the noun to which it refers; but you still need to put dōu 都 after that noun: All children like candy.

Háizi dōu xǐhuān táng。
孩子都喜欢糖。

OR, for emphasis:
✔ CC: Suǒyǒude háizi dōu xǐhuān táng.
所有的孩子都喜欢糖。

✖ BC: Dōu háizi xǐhuān táng.
都孩子喜欢糖。

Literally: All children like candy. (BUT dōu can NEVER precede a noun!) I like all (or both) those children.

Nèixie háizi wǒ dōu xǐhuān.
那些孩子我都喜欢。

OR, for emphasis:

Suǒyǒude nèixie háizi wǒ dōu xǐhuān.
所有的那些孩子我都喜欢。
