Adjective

oso (comparative osoago, superlative osoen, excessive osoegi)

1. complete, entire
2. all, the whole

   Synonym: guzti

3. just, righteous
4. (Northern) healthy

   Synonym: osasuntsu

Usage notes

• In the sense "all", the terms oso and guzti are not always interchangeable. The term oso usually only modifies nouns referring to "dividable" referents. For example, both opil osoa and opil guztia (“the whole cake”) are correct and virtually synonymous; however *zuku osoa (literally “the whole juice”) is not and zuku guztia must be used instead.

Adverb

1. very, much

Usage notes

• When used as an adverb meaning "very", it precedes the adjective or adverb it modifies. Optionally, it can also precede the noun modified by the adjective. For example, both mendi oso handia and oso mendi handia (“the very big mountain”) can be used.

     I saw Archimedes looking down, and Democritus going immersed in thought, by his own will without light or gold; I saw Hippias, the old man that dared to say: "I know everything", and yet sure of nothing
