How it is used
- Uniformly / all without exception - applies one rule to everyone. 一律免费 (yílǜ miǎnfèi) free for all, no exceptions; 迟到者一律不得入场 (chídào zhě yílǜ bùdé rùchǎng) latecomers are all barred from entry.
- Register of rules, notices, and policies; stresses no special cases. Near 一概 (yígài), which leans slightly more written.
