Synonyms & antonyms
  • SynonymすべてNeutralMeans all/everything but leans written, as in 「全てを失う」. 「全部」 is more colloquial and covers both concrete and abstract things.
  • Synonym全体ぜんたいNeutralRefers to something as a whole, as in 「会社全体」; it stresses the whole itself rather than the individual parts added up.
  • Synonym一切いっさいNeutralCovers everything without exception, and often precedes a negative to mean 'not at all', as in 「一切関係ない」.
  • Antonym一部いちぶNeutralThe opposite of 「全部」: only a part, as in 「一部の人」.
  • Antonym一部分いちぶぶんNeutralAlso the opposite of 「全部」, meaning a part of the whole; it stresses the 'part' aspect more than 「一部」.

Default to 「全部」. Use 「全て」 in written style or for abstract things, 「全体」 when viewing something as a whole, and 「一切」 to stress 'without exception' (often with a negative). For 'only a part', use 「一部」 or 「一部分」.
