Grammar & Usage

fixed expression / sentence

neutral

How it works

This is a complete sentence expressing a negative implication. '这' (zhè) means 'this'. '并' (bìng) is an intensifier used with negation ('不' bù) to emphasize 'really not' or 'definitely not'. '意味着' (yìwèizhe) means 'to mean' or 'to signify'. '一切' (yīqiè) means 'everything', and '都' (dōu) is an adverb meaning 'all' or 'both', reinforcing 'everything'. '完了' (wánliǎo) means 'is over' or 'finished'.

Sample sentences
