When to use it
This phrase lives mostly in written Chinese; WeChat messages, emails, letters; rather than casual spoken greetings. 一切 (yíqiè) means 'everything' and pairs with 都 (dōu) for emphasis: literally 'hope everything is all good.' The formal 一切安好 (ānhǎo) sounds literary and is common in New Year messages or letters to elders. In speech, Chinese people rarely say this directly; they'd ask 最近怎么样? instead. Note 一 changes tone to yí before the fourth-tone 切.
