Quand tout fait partie d'une locution figée comme tous feux éteints, à tout hasard, de toute(s) part(s), tout compte fait, après tout etc, qu'il est fréquemment associé à un adjectif ou un adverbe donné comme tout nu, tout neuf, tout plein, tout simplement etc, la traduction sera donnée sous le terme principal

Remarques sur l'adjectif

1. Lorsque tout, adjectif singulier, exprime la totalité, plusieurs traductions sont possibles mais non toujours interchangeables. De manière générale

On emploiera all lorsque le mot qualifié est non dénombrable: tout le vin/l'argent = all the wine/the money; tout ce bruit/leur talent = all that noise/their talent; c'est tout ce que je sais = that's all I know

On emploiera the whole si tout peut être remplacé par entier: tout le gâteau/groupe = the whole cake/group

tout un dans le sens de entier se traduit toujours par a whole: tout un livre = a whole book

Mais: connaître tout Zola/le Japon = to know the whole of Zola/Japan; lire tout ‘Les Misérables’ = to read the whole of ‘Les Misérables’; pendant tout mon séjour = for the whole of my stay

Avec certains mots, en particulier les mots désignant la durée ( journée, mois, saison, vie, vacances etc), les collectifs tels que famille, on pourra employer all ou the whole, la seconde traduction étant légèrement plus emphatique: toute ma vie = all my life, the whole of my life

tout le pays/toute la ville = all the country/town ou = the whole country/town lorsque ces mots désignent la population; au sens géographique, seule la deuxième traduction convient

2. throughout (ou all through) signifie du début à la fin, d'un bout à l'autre. On l'emploie souvent pour insister sur la durée ou l'étendue devant un terme singulier ou pluriel qui désigne l'espace de temps ou l'événement pendant lequel un fait a lieu, ou encore le territoire sur lequel il a lieu: pendant tout le match/tous ces mois = throughout the match/those months; la rumeur se répandit dans toute la province = the rumour [BrE] spread throughout the province; faire tout le trajet debout = to stand throughout the journey (ou for the whole journey); il neige sur toute la France = it's snowing throughout France (ou all over France)

Au pluriel, tous, toutes se traduiront par all pour exprimer la totalité, par every pour insister sur les composants d'un ensemble, ou encore par any pour indiquer l'absence de discrimination. On notera que every and any sont suivis du singulier

niente

/'njεnte/

Niente in italiano, e i suoi equivalenti inglesi, possono essere usati come pronomi e aggettivi, meno spesso come sostantivi e avverbi. - Il pronome niente si traduce solitamente con nothing: non ne sapevo niente = I knew nothing about it; tuttavia, si usano anything se c'è già un'altra negazione ( non mi hanno mai detto niente = I was never told anything about it) o in frase interrogativa dove niente ha in realtà valore positivo (hai visto niente? = hai visto qualcosa? = have you seen anything?). - Come aggettivo, niente si rende con no (niente imbrogli! = no cheating!), e con any in una frase già negativa o in frase interrogativa dove niente ha in realtà valore positivo (niente soldi nel portafoglio? = dei soldi nel portafoglio? = any money in your wallet?). - Per gli altri usi di niente, si veda la voce qui sotto. Si veda anche la voce nulla.
