The use as a case-neutral form may have been reinforced by German alles, from a merger of Middle High German alles (genitive) and allez (nominative and accusative). Note, however, that Dutch iets (“something”) and niets (“nothing”) are also genitives, as is German nichts. Moreover, the form alles is also used in western German dialects where it cannot go back to a nominative/accusative form, e.g. Luxembourgish alles. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɑləs/ Hyphenation: al‧les === Pronoun === alles (indefinite) everything ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== Afrikaans: alles Jersey Dutch: ālles, âlles == Estonian == === Etymology === Derived from ala. === Adverb === alles (not comparable) yet, not before, still, quite recently, already == German == === Etymology === From Middle High German alles, allez, from Old High German allez, allaz, neuter form of al, all (“all”), equivalent to all +‎ -es.

Wo seid ihr alles gewesen? ― Where all did you go? ==== Usage notes ==== The informal use with plurals is only possible when the pronoun does not immediately follow its referent.
