每 + time/unit/person + (都) + predicate expresses distributive regularity: every unit in a set shares the same result/action.
Distributive scope - each item/time in the set is covered
都 marks exhaustiveness - often present, sometimes omitted by style
Routine/habit reporting - high frequency in daily statements
See examples below for varied real-world usage.
Define set clearly
- 每天, 每个人, 每次, 每周, etc.
都 strengthens all-inclusive reading
- Omission is possible but nuance may soften.
Do not mix with singular one-off events
- Pattern implies repeated/distributed behavior.
Everyone came.
It rains every time.
We practice speaking every day.
She goes to the library every week.
