- Synonym全部ぜんぶNeutralAll of it, nothing left over; the everyday choice in speech, as in 「全部食べた」. Largely interchangeable with 「全て」, which is a bit more written in flavor.
- SynonymみなNeutralMainly for people, as in 「皆来た」; 「全て」 mostly refers to things and rarely to people directly.
- Synonym全体ぜんたいNeutralTreats things as one whole, as in 「クラス全体」; 「全て」 focuses on each and every item being included.
- SynonymすっかりNeutralAn adverb for turning completely into a state, as in 「すっかり忘れた」; it cannot stand as a noun meaning everything.
- Antonym一部いちぶNeutralA part of the whole, standing opposite 「全て」, which takes in everything.
Use 「全て」 for everything or all. In speech 「全部」 is the everyday choice; pick 「皆」 for people, 「一切」 to stress no exceptions, 「全体」 for the whole as one unit, and 「すっかり」 for a complete change of state. 「一部」 is the opposite; 「一部始終」 is not.
