统统

统统 — all, the whole lot

Pattern

+ +
( ) can be left out · other words may come before, between and after

How it works

统统 is an emphatic spoken "all, every last one", often with a sweeping or dismissive tone. It stresses that nothing was left out, where 都 is neutral.

Examples

这些旧衣服统统扔了吧。
Zhèxiē jiù yīfu tǒngtǒng rēng le ba.
Let's throw out all these old clothes.
他把钱统统花光了。
Tā bǎ qián tǒngtǒng huāguāng le.
He spent every last bit of the money.
