Did you know?

  • When a Russian speaker says всё! with a specific sharp intonation, it can act as a command to stop talking or stop an action immediately.
  • The spelling of всё with the letters 'ё' is often omitted in print and digital text, appearing as все, which is the same spelling as the word for 'everyone'.
  • In some contexts, adding the particle же to create всё же changes the meaning from 'everything' to 'still' or 'nevertheless'.
