Q: Then how do you say “all of the book” or “the entire book”, if the word 다 only modifies
verbs?
A: You can use other words like 전체 [jeon-che] or 전부 [jeon-bu]. “The entire book” is 책 전체 or 책 전부, but this might not sound very natural when used out of proper context. In most
cases, it is better to use 다.
