Grammar Breakdown

Alles,wasduteilenwillst.

1

Indefinite pronoun "Alles"

"Alles" means "everything" and functions as a neuter indefinite pronoun that can be the antecedent of the relative pronoun "was".

2

Relative pronoun "was"

When the antecedent is a neuter indefinite pronoun (etwas, nichts, alles), the relative pronoun is "was" – not "der/die/das".

3

Modal verb construction

In a clause with a modal verb, the infinitive (here "teilen") goes to the end and the modal verb is conjugated ("willst" for "du").

4

Verb‑second (V2) order in the relative clause

Even inside a relative clause German keeps the V2 rule, so the finite verb "willst" stays in second position after the subject "du".

Common Mistakes

  • Alles, die du teilen willst.

    The relative pronoun for a neuter indefinite antecedent (alles) is "was", not "die".

  • Alles, was du teilen will.

    The modal verb must be conjugated for "du" – "willst", not "will".

  • Alles, was du willst teilen.

    When a modal verb is used, the infinitive stays at the end; swapping order makes the sentence ungrammatical.

Alternatives

  • Alles, das du teilen möchtest.

    Everything that you would like to share.

  • Alles, was du gern teilen würdest.

    Everything you’d gladly share.

  • Alles, das du teilen willst.

    Everything you want to share.

Cultural Tip

In German‑speaking cultures, sharing personal data or photos is often done with a clear consent. Saying "Alles, was du teilen willst" signals trust, but it’s polite to ask first and respect the other person’s privacy preferences, especially in professional or formal settings.
