I think the use of question would be closer to your use of "everything". | |

The "niveau + un nom abstrait" construction may well be close to this "everything / all things + un nom abstrait" expression in English in terms of construction. | |

| May 9, 2017 at 12:10 | comment | added | Destal | @Alone-zee It's an exact synonym in casual French. But as Laure wrote, the origin of "niveau" should keep it for situations where you compare "levels" of things. | |

| May 9, 2017 at 12:07 | comment | added | Con-gras-tue-les-chiens | @SimonDéchamps Your saying "'en connais un rayon" made me realise that this "niveau" is also close to saying "T'en connais un rayon en matière du français", perhaps? | |
