Ой, даже мне лайк поставили ☺️

Да он всё-таки верен в некоторых случаях)

It's good to be optimistic. Though we're still having minus temperatures, in all of couple of months spring may come here. ;)

...all of A couple

Ага, потеряла по дороге. Спасибо! :)

How about "Though we're ALREADY having minus temperatures, in all a couple of months ...»? This is actually what I meant to write but wasn't careful enough.

Yes. All OF a couple...

Да что ж такое! :)))

Here's another one: https://www.lingvolive.com/en-us/community/posts/1043861

But before, we were talking about the meaning "всего", while in the last post the meaning is "целых". In Russian they are different. It appears in English this fits for both.

Yes

Uly, it's confusing because целых and всего have opposite connotations. Ты собрал этот пазл всего за 20 минут? (surprise & admiration). Ты собирал этот пазл целых 20 минут? (disapproval). Would the difference of that kind be expressed through the verb forms?

The context dictates whether it corresponds to целых or всего, but in both cases the number is amazing to the speaker.

It emphasizes how small or how large a number is.

Поняла, спасибо! :)

I never thought about it before, but you’re right – it is confusing.
