第三十八天

[nnozomi]

都 for "all," "every," "both"

都 is another one of those "turns up all over the place" ones, this is at least one of its functions...

Guardian:
你们都没注意到吗？ (you all didn't notice = none of you noticed?)
他们两个都是能量体 (they're both energy beings)
每次都这么巧 (every time it's such a coincidence)

My practice:
我都懂 (from 叛逆者, simple and heartfelt)
在日本，每年都在二月十四号女人把男人给巧克力，不过一定要等待三月收到的。
我们俩都很喜欢听音乐。

From The Rebel, episode 26:
全部都拿到一起
他们的人都向东边撤退了
每个人的居住地都要弃用

都， useful for spies as well as the rest of us...it really does turn up everywhere!

This is probably going to make a glaring 0 sense when I read it over while actually awake, but an over-extended exercise in how many 都s I can use in our hypothetical drama's confession scene:

无论怎样的我，都会喜欢你。就算是世界末日，天都要塌了，我死也要撑起一片蓝天让你活下去。就算有一天我连自己的名字都不记得了，也无法忘了你。有爱过的人，不都是这样吗？爱得要死要活，爱得心里一滴血都不剩也无所谓。一直以来都是这样，从此以后也是。

Combined with Shen Wei's calm little smile in the icon, this is all too effective... you've used all the 都s and there's nothing for the drama's hypothetical confessee to say but 我都懂！
（also now I will maybe remember what 无所谓 means, it's always eluding me...)

[presumenothing]

It is, essentially, a Shen Wei vibe XD

无所谓 is fairly close to 構いません I'd say!

I love 都, it's so flexible! Like you say, it goes everywhere. :D

[nnozomi]

都是都吧！;)
