~~~arazushimo nai expresses a partial negative. The partial negative can
also be expressed by other expressions such as minna wa - nai, zenbu wa -
nai, subete wa - nai, itsumo wa - nai. Examples follow:

Among these partial negative expressions, kanarazushimo and subete is
much less colloquial than the rest. Note also that minna 'all,' zenbu 'all,'
subete 'all,' and itsumo 'always' do not always require a negative ending;
whereas kanarazushimo always requires a negative ending. Examples follow:
