All has no meaning as an adjective except a dialectal one. You can't say "more all" normally and it's not an attribute. Whole is more like the adjective, but the subject word also has the meaning of all. User:Vahagn Petrosyan, English and Armenian terminology may differ, but the kind of tactic you use is doomed to spread misinterpretation. I think in English Wiki we should either use English terminology for parts of speech or use other words for them (or mention the difference everywhere, which is complicated). --GareginRA (talk) 16:00, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
- @GareginRA: I don't understand what a determiner is. Frankly, I don't understand parts of speech other than the noun and the verb. If you want to introduce this determiner thing, then please use the correct headword line, namely {{head|hy|determiner}}. --Vahag (talk) 17:11, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Vahagn Petrosyan:, ok, actually, I didn't consider, that there is a distinct Armenian tradition for determining parts of speech, which doesn't fully correspond to the one used in English, and now I'm not sure which one should be applied here. But seeing all as a translation for an adjective is quite confusing, although it could theoretically be understood (considering we know that Armenian adjectives are not supposed to work like English adjectives). But anyway, even in Armenian dictionaries the first sense of բոլոր is provided as a pronoun. — This unsigned comment was added by GareginRA (talk • contribs).
- @GareginRA: Standard Armenian dictionaries tag it as դ. = դերանուն = pronoun. http://www.eanc.net/ tags it as an adjective. --Vahag (talk) 08:52, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
