我的一切
wǒ de yīqiè
The English phrase "my everything" is translated into Chinese as 我的一切 (wǒ de yīqiè).
我的一切 is a phrase used to describe a person who is the most important part of one's life. It is most commonly used in highly romantic or poetic contexts, such as song lyrics or literature, to express absolute devotion.
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of 我 (I/me), the possessive particle 的 and 一切 (everything/all things).
How does it change in a sentence?
The phrase 我的一切 can be substituted with 我的全部 to express a similar sense of "my all" or "my whole being".
How do you pronounce it?
wǒ de yīqiè
Did you know?
- The character 切 in 一切 originally referred to cutting or slicing, but evolved to mean 'all' or 'entire' when used in this specific compound.
- Because the phrase is so absolute, it is a popular trope in 'melodrama' (often called 'dog-blood' dramas in slang), where characters use such extreme language to signify intense passion.
- If you say 我的一切 to a parent or child, it expresses a protective, sacrificial love rather than the romantic passion found in song lyrics.
