I am struggling with how to use "都" in 廣東話哈囉, 你哋好, I am struggling with using "都" in sentences. I know this word means "all" and "too, also". Why this sentence needs "都" : 我全部都鍾意　（I like it all.) and why this sentence doesn't need "都" ? : 不如叫佢同我哋一齊去食煲仔飯啦？ (How about ask/call her and we go eat 煲仔飯 together?"） When I don't think I need to put "都" (as 全部 means all, I thought I don't need to put 都 again), it is wrong, the sentence needs 都. When I thought there might need "都" (as even if there is the word 全部, it seems it needs 都, so I thought the word like altogether or together 一齊 would need 都 together in the sentence, too.) I am really confused. Are there any rules when to put 都, or not? Thank you for helping me!

There are many other meanings of 都

"may as well", "still" eg 乜都 , 都係

anything, whatever 乜嘢都

for the most part, generally, for the most part 大都
neither 都不

even, already 佛都有火

anytime, whenever, 幾點鐘都

Why this sentence needs "都" : 我全部都鍾意　（At the same time, I like it all.) Can be omitted

and why this sentence doesn't need "都" ? : 不如叫佢同我哋一齊去食煲仔飯啦？ Here 一齊 has the same meaning as 都 and so you can use it to replace 一齊. If you add 都 after 一齊, it it means, "why not let's us go all together to eat claypot rice?"
(How about ask/call her and we go eat 煲仔飯 together?"）

When I don't think I need to put "都" (as 全部 means all, I thought I don't need to put 都 again),
it is wrong, the sentence needs 都.

When I thought there might need "都" (as even if there is the word 全部, it seems it needs 都, so
I thought the word like altogether or together 一齊 would need 都 together in the sentence, too.)

I am really confused.
Are there any rules when to put 都, or not? It is not considered grammatically wrong. It is used mostly for emphasis.

Thank you for helping me!

Thanks

多謝你哋幫我！ありがとうございます。Thank you so very much! 我而家明白better. 我溫書~

”都”は”も”と似ています。強調の意味もあります。例を見てください。 A：煲仔飯が食べたいです。我想食煲仔飯。 B：私も煲仔飯が食べたいです。煲仔飯が大好きですから、毎日も食べられますわ。我都想食煲仔飯。我超鍾意煲仔飯。我可以日日都食煲仔飯。 A：じゃ、今日は煲仔飯にします。噉，我哋今日食煲仔飯啦！ B：Cも煲仔飯が好きです。彼を誘って、一緒に行きませんか。C都鍾意食煲仔飯。不如叫佢同我哋一齊去食煲仔飯呀！ A：Bと私は煲仔飯を食べに行きます。あなたも一緒に行きませんか。B同我去食煲仔飯。你都一齊去食煲仔飯呀！ C：すみません。今日は煲仔飯を食べたくないです。唔好意思。我今日唔想食煲仔飯レストランで A：鶏肉煲仔飯と豚肉煲仔飯はどちらが好きですか。鷄肉煲仔飯同豬肉煲仔飯，你鍾意食邊個呀？ B：両方も好きです。じゃ、両方も注文しませんか。我兩個都鍾意。不如，我哋兩個都點呀！ A：OK。シェアーしますね。Ok。我哋share！
