<div><h2 id="using-全-before-a-noun">Using <span class="hanzist">全</span> before a Noun</h2>

  <h3 id="structure">Structure</h3>

  <p>The structure is quite simple, just put <span class="hanzi">全</span> in front of the noun you want to emphasize "the whole" of. You cannot use it with <span class="hanzi">的</span>. Pay attention to the types of nouns you can use with <span class="hanzi">全</span>, since it is usually paired up with <span class="hanzi">身</span> (body), <span class="hanzi">家</span> (family), <span class="hanzi">国</span> (country), <span class="hanzi">世界 </span>(world), <span class="hanzi">天</span> (day) and the like.</p>
