全員が勢揃い (zen'in ga seizoroi - everyone is present)
Grammar & Usage
How it works
This phrase combines 「全員 (zen'in)」meaning 'all members/everyone', the particle 「が (ga)」marking the subject, and 「勢揃い (seizoroi)」 meaning 'being all present' or 'being assembled in full force'. 「勢揃い (seizoroi)」 itself can function as a suru-verb (勢揃いする - to assemble) or as a noun (the act of assembling). Here, it functions as a noun preceded by the subject and its particle, indicating that everyone is in a state of being fully assembled.
