Is it an adverb, pronoun, or something else?

If it's a declension of весь, which case and gender is it in here?

    Yes, it is neutral gender, singular, accusative case.

In this sentence всё is a pronoun. While English speakers use all in place of an adjective and everything in place of a noun, in Russian всё may stand for both (BTW. English All, as a noun only, corresponds to Все in Russian).

As Russian pronouns do decline, всё is a neutral gender singular of весь in both Nominative and Accusative.

  • When you say that всё is "in both Nominative and Accusative", you mean in general and not in the example sentence, yes?

    @ycele Yes, in general. Here it's accusative, of course.
