Questions & Answers about Segala usaha ini berbaloi.

What does each word in Segala usaha ini berbaloi literally correspond to in English?

Rough word-by-word mapping:

• segala = all, every, all kinds of
• usaha = effort, attempt, endeavour
• ini = this / these (demonstrative placed after the noun)
• berbaloi = worth it, worthwhile

So a very literal gloss might be:
segala (all) usaha (effort) ini (this) berbaloi (is worth it / worthwhile).

What exactly does segala mean, and how is it different from semua?

Both segala and semua are often translated as all, but there are nuances:

• semua is the more general, everyday word for all.

  • semua orang = all people
  • semua buku = all the books

• segala often has a slightly more formal or literary feel and is frequently used with:

  • abstract nouns: segala usaha (all effort), segala bantuan (all help)
  • mass/uncountable ideas: segala masalah (all kinds of problems)

In Segala usaha ini berbaloi, segala gives a sense of every bit of the effort, or all kinds of efforts that went into it, not just a simple list of countable items.
You could say Semua usaha ini berbaloi and it would still be understood, but segala feels a bit more sweeping and emphatic.
