How it's used
The term 所有的 is a written form that rarely appears in natural spoken Cantonese. Speakers almost exclusively use 晒 or 全部 to express the concept of all or everything. Using 所有的 in conversation can sound stiff or overly formal, as if reading from a textbook.

Common mistake
Learners often use 所有的 because it translates directly from Mandarin, but it sounds unnatural in daily speech. You should replace it with 晒 at the end of a verb phrase or use 全部 as a quantifier.
