Word Explanation
俱全 is an adjective meaning 'complete' or 'fully equipped', emphasizing that every necessary element or item is present without exception. The character 俱 (jù) means 'all' or 'together', while 全 (quán) means 'entire', 'whole', or 'complete'. Together, they form a compact, literary-sounding compound expressing thoroughness and comprehensiveness — often used in formal writing, product descriptions, or official announcements rather than casual speech.
This term frequently appears in contexts describing well-equipped facilities (e.g., hotels, hospitals), comprehensive services (e.g., insurance plans), or fully stocked inventories. It conveys reliability and readiness: if something is 俱全, nothing essential is missing. Though grammatically adjectival, 俱全 typically follows the noun it modifies (e.g., 设施俱全) or appears after 是 or 很 in predicative use (e.g., 这里设备很俱全 is *incorrect* — see usage note). It rarely stands alone and almost never takes aspect particles like 了 or 过.
