This phrase is a polite expression used to wish that all the people in a group are healthy and happy.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase j'espère que tout le monde va bien literally translates to "I hope that all the world goes well".

Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?

The standard form j'espère que tout le monde va bien is appropriate for formal or semi-formal written correspondence, such as an email to a group of colleagues or acquaintances. For a more formal tone, you can use J'espère que vous allez tous bien (I hope all of you are doing well) or Je souhaite que chacun se porte bien (I wish that everyone is doing well). If you want to add warmth in an informal setting, you can use J'espère que tout le monde va bien, les amis !

How does it change in a sentence?

Even though tout le monde means "everyone", it is grammatically singular and requires the singular verb va instead of a plural form.

Did you know?

  • The word monde in tout le monde actually comes from the Latin word mundus, which originally meant 'pure' or 'clean'.
  • In very formal French, the verb aller in va bien is replaced by se porter, which literally means 'to carry oneself'.
