matta-ku, matto-usuru, zen
You can use mattaku as an adverb. It means it modifies verbs or adjectives. When it modifies verbs, you can translate it as “absolutely.” When it modifies the auxiliary verb “nai” meaning denial, it means “not at all.” It also modifies the adjective “nai” meaning nothing. “Mattaku nanimo nai” means “there is nothing at all.”
All-japan teams or organizations are called “zennip pon.” Similarly, we call all-American zenbei. The Unites States is sometimes called zenbei. For example, the U.S. Open is “zenbei ōpun” in Japanese. Ōpun is in katakana.
