For a Free Trial lesson with one of our qualified native teachers in China, join us here: https://goo.gl/3tMzio If we're going to talk in Mandarin Chinese about what we have, we must also mention "how much" of something there is by knowing the Chinese words for this. In English, these words are called "quantifiers", or words that show "how much" of something you have (all, some of, none, etc.). "dōu (都)" means "all" or "both" when we add: "bù (不)", which represents "no" or "negative", we get: "bù dōu (不都)", which means "not all of", or "some". If we switch the characters around to: "dōu bù (都不)" it changes the meaning to "none of".
