QUAN-2
('quan' in the second tone)
There are some 29 standard Chinese characters that are
spoken 'quan'. In nine of these, 全 is the sound-defining element. In another eight, the
sound is determined by the presence of 卷 .
全 = complete, all
The preferred two-character version for
the meaning 'all' is:
全部 = quan(2)bu(4) = all (lit. all parts)
请拿全部东西来这里.=
Qing(3) na(2) quan(2)bu(4) dong(1)xi(1)
lai(2) zhe(4)li(3). = Please bring all things here.
