Questions & Answers about Мы насмотрелись на всякий хлам!
Why do we use всякий here instead of каждый or любой?
In this sentence, всякий means "all sorts of" or "all manner of". It emphasizes the messy variety of the junk. If you used каждый, it would mean "every single piece of junk" individually. любой would mean "any junk (whichever you choose)", which doesn't fit the context of having been exposed to a bunch of random rubbish.
What is the exact meaning of the verb насмотрелись, and how is it formed?
The verb насмотреться is formed from смотреть (to watch/look) using the prefix на- and the reflexive particle -ся. This combination is a common grammatical pattern that means doing an action until you are completely full, satiated, or sick of it. So, насмотрелись means "we looked at it until we had completely had enough".
Why is the preposition на used after the verb, and what case does it take here?
The verb насмотреться requires the preposition на followed by the Accusative case to show what you've had enough of looking at. Because хлам is an inanimate masculine noun, its Accusative form (всякий хлам) looks exactly like the Nominative.
Why is всякий хлам in the singular? Can we make it plural?
