      nah, anything is more correct here. it’s like and/or vs neither/nor. “i do understand everything” is the grammatical opposite of “i don’t understand anything”. “i don’t understand everything” is a different sentence entirely. it would only imply that there are aspects of “everything” they don’t understand, rather than that there is nothing they understand.
