Математика: все, за исключением нескольких -
2 -all but-
Nota d'uso1 Davanti a un aggettivo o a un participio all but significa quasi (del tutto), pressoché: Your article is all but perfect, il tuo articolo è pressoché perfetto; an all but forgotten event, un fatto quasi completamente dimenticato; These traditions have all but died out, queste tradizioni sono quasi del tutto scomparse.2 Davanti a un nome o a un pronome all but significa invece tutti tranne, perché in questo caso all non ha valore di avverbio ma di pronome: All but one of the students passed the exam, tutti gli studenti, tranne uno, superarono l'esame; All but George agreed, tutti furono d'accordo tranne George; All but a few of these traditions are still alive, quasi tutte (letteralmente tutte tranne alcune di) queste tradizioni sono ancora vive. -
