Word Explanation
都好 (dōu hǎo) literally combines 都 (dōu), meaning 'all' or 'every', and 好 (hǎo), meaning 'good' or 'fine'. Together, it expresses a broad, positive assessment of multiple things or a general state — equivalent to English phrases like 'all good', 'everything’s fine', or 'all is well'. It’s commonly used in casual speech to reassure others, respond to inquiries about well-being, or signal that no problems exist across several items or aspects.
This phrase carries a warm, relaxed, and often slightly understated tone. It’s frequently heard in everyday conversations — for example, when someone asks how your family, work, and health are, replying with 都好 conveys holistic wellness without elaboration. Unlike more formal expressions like 一切顺利 (yīqiè shùnlì), 都好 feels personal and grounded, often implying quiet contentment rather than exuberant success.
