Question about English (US)
「あなたがやった全てのこと」
Would it be “all what you did” ?
And, “what you all did” means “what all of you did”?
I’m confused about the order.
I think “what all you did” is incorrect, but I’m not sure. Could you teach me please?

If I understand correctly, "everything you did" is the correct translation. "All what you did" doesn't make sense. "Everything you did" and "what you all did" mean different things. I think "what you all did" would be 「皆がやったこと」, but this may be slightly off because my level of Japanese is very basic.
In any case, "you all" or "y'all" always translates to 皆 / 皆さん / 皆様.

“What all you did” is an incorrect order,
“All what you did” is incorrect, it must be “all you did”, however “what all of you did” is correct only when using it with a group of people. “What you all did” is also correct.

@simpinforsasuke I found out what I wanted to say is “all you did”. Thank you so much!
When I use “all you did”, should I add “the” to “all”?

@LambchopsKebab Thank you for your help!
Could I ask one more? Are there any difference between “all you did” and “everything you did“?

@Kai30544 「あなたがやった全てのこと」 can be translated to "everything you did". 「皆がやったこと」 can be translated to "what you all did" or "what all of you did". "What all you did" is a colloquial, 口語, way of saying "what all of you did".

@LambchopsKebab Thank you for your kind explanation. It has become clear now.

@Kai30544 no, don’t add “the” to “all”, it’s gonna be a wrong form, also don’t forget that “all you did” is used with 1 person, not a group of people. Let me know if you need anything else :)

@simpinforsasuke Thank you for your kindness. If you don’t mind let me ask you one more thing please.
I understood “all you did” is used with 1 person.
so, if I wanted to say about a group of people and also mean “everything/all“,
Would it be “Everything you all did” or “Everything all of you did”?
Or, can’t I say “Everything all of you did” though “what all of you did “ is correct?

@Kai30544 you can use “what all of you did” or “all y’all did” while talking to a group of people. But I prefer you use the first choice :)
