Study notes

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

  • Structure: 全体 (ぜんたい) is the whole formed by all parts. It appears as reading scope and total shape.
  • Basic usage: A passage is read in full for its point; stepping back reveals a model's overall form.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

  • Entire textual scope and complete physical shape
    • 文章全体を emphasizes range; 全体の形 links whole and property. Do not infer the whole from one part.
