"at all"

Hi,
can anybody explain me, what does this "at all" mean?

It is something like "in all things"?

whoa i think you'd better give us a complete sentence. "in all things" can be "in all aspects", not sure, give me the context.

It isn't in the sentence or in the bigger context. Just I often see, that somebody say "at all".

Hi
at all - is used to add more strength to our point.
I have no idea AT ALL - I definitely have NO idea.
I don't want to speak to him at all - I definitely do NOT want to speak to him.

No, you cannot use "at all" in your sentence.
The words "at all" are frequently used in combination with a negative word or a negative idea, and this usage basically emphasizes the idea of "not", "nothing" or "very little".

Basically, "I did not understand at all" can be used to mean "I understood nothing".

You can also use it in a question.
Did you understand anything at all?
