[quote=KELLYDALY,356788]Who can tell the differences between ‘Quan’ and ‘Dou’? I was told they were the same and are equal to ‘all’. But many a time I was told I used one of them wrong and I should use the other one. Here is an example, I wanted to say ‘All want to go to that movie’ and said in Chinese that ‘mei ge ren quan xiang qu kan na ge dian ying.’ What’s wrong with the ‘Quan’ here? I don’t know what the point is there. Don’t that both ‘Quan’ and ‘Dou’ mean ‘all’? The answers I got was always like ‘I don’t know how to explain’ or ‘it’s complicated’ when I asked for an explanation. I got nowhere to know how to differentiate the two words and how to use them. Don’t they just mean ‘all’?[/quote]
