الجميع يريد العدالة.

In Arabic, الجميع is a fixed word that commonly means everyone or all people. Even though English uses an indefinite-looking word like everyone, Arabic uses الجميع with الـ.

Literally, it comes from the idea of the whole group or all of it, but in actual usage it often just means everyone.

So:

• الجميع يريد العدالة = Everyone wants justice

You should learn الجميع as a common standalone word.

Because الجميع is treated grammatically as a singular masculine noun in this kind of sentence.

So even though it refers to many people, the verb is usually:

• يريد = he wants / wants
  not
• يريدون = they want

This is similar to how some collective words in English can behave as a single unit, although Arabic does this more consistently here.

So:

• الجميع يريد = correct and standard

The default grammatical agreement with الجميع is masculine singular, so يريد is the normal form.

That is why you get:

• الجميع يريد العدالة

not usually:

• الجميع تريد العدالة

Even if everyone includes women and men, the grammar still normally uses the masculine singular form with الجميع.

يريد is the present/future form in Arabic, often called the imperfect.

Depending on context, it can mean:

• wants
• is wanting
• will want

In this sentence, the natural meaning is:

• Everyone wants justice

Arabic present-tense verbs often cover both present and future unless something in the sentence makes the time clearer.

يريد comes from the root ر-و-د in the verb أرادَ (to want).

Its present form is:

• يُريدُ = he wants

Some useful related forms are:

• أريدُ = I want
• تريدُ = you want / she wants
• نريدُ = we want
• يريدون = they want

So in your sentence:

• الجميع يريد العدالة
• literally: Everyone wants justice

Using العدالة gives the sense of justice as a general concept, often like justice in an abstract, known sense.

Arabic often uses الـ with abstract nouns where English may or may not use the. So العدالة here does not necessarily mean the justice in a narrow specific sense. It can simply mean justice as an idea or principle.

So:

• العدالة = justice
• not necessarily the justice in a literal English way

This is very common with abstract nouns in Arabic.

In full vowelled formal Arabic, it would usually be:

• الجميعُ يريدُ العدالةَ

Here is why:

• الجميعُ has ـُ because it is the subject
• يريدُ has the normal indicative ending ـُ
• العدالةَ has ـَ because it is the direct object

In normal modern writing, these short vowel endings are usually omitted, so you will most often just see:

• الجميع يريد العدالة

It is a verbal sentence, because it begins with a verb-related structure? Actually, in this case it begins with الجميع, so learners often wonder about that.

The sentence is best understood as a nominal sentence with a verbal predicate or, more simply for beginners, a sentence where:

• الجميع = subject/topic
• يريد العدالة = predicate/comment

Arabic allows this kind of structure very naturally.

You could also compare it with a more explicitly verb-initial order:

• يريد الجميعُ العدالةَ

That version is also grammatical. The meaning is basically the same, though the word order shifts the emphasis a little.

Yes. That is also correct:

• يريد الجميع العدالة

Both are grammatical:

• الجميع يريد العدالة
• يريد الجميع العدالة

The first version is often easier for learners because it feels like subject + verb + object, closer to English.

The second version begins with the verb, which is also very common in Arabic.

It is pronounced approximately:

• al-jamīʿ

A rough English-friendly guide:

• al = like al
• ja = like ja in jar
• mī = long ee
• ʿ = the letter ع, a sound English does not have

Important points:

• The ج in Modern Standard Arabic is usually taught as j
• The ي here gives a long ee sound
• The final ع is a real consonant, not silent in careful pronunciation

العدالة is a feminine singular noun meaning justice.

It is feminine because it ends in ـة (tāʾ marbūṭa), which very often marks feminine nouns.

In this sentence it is the direct object of يريد:

• يريد ماذا؟
• العدالة

So:

• الجميع = subject
• يريد = verb
• العدالة = object

No. In pronunciation, the ل of الـ is assimilated before ع? Actually, no — ع is a moon letter, not a sun letter, so the ل is pronounced.

So you pronounce it as:

• al-ʿadālah

not with assimilation.

This is because ع is one of the moon letters, so الـ stays fully pronounced.

Yes, depending on context, الجميع can have a broader sense like all, everyone, or the whole group.

In this sentence, because it is followed by a verb of human intention (يريد = wants), the natural reading is everyone.

So context tells you how to understand it.

For example:

• جاء الجميع = Everyone came
• قرأتُ الجميع would sound odd, because everyone is not something you normally read

So here, the human meaning is clear.

Yes. Arabic very naturally uses verbs like يريد with abstract nouns:

• يريد السلام = he wants peace
• يريد الحرية = he wants freedom
• يريد العدالة = he wants justice

This is very normal and direct. English sometimes uses an infinitive, as in wants to have justice, but Arabic often just uses the abstract noun itself.

So يريد العدالة is a very natural Arabic expression.
