Can "miteinander" also be used as "everybody", if so, can you give me some examples please?

No, "miteinander" is not typically used to mean "everybody." It is a German word that translates to "with each other" or "together" in English. It is often used to indicate a sense of interaction or cooperation between people or entities. If you want to express the concept of "everybody" in German, you would generally use words like "alle," "jeder," or "jede/r/e/n," depending on the context. Here are some examples: Alle sind eingeladen. (Everybody is invited.) Jeder kann mitmachen. (Everybody can participate.) Wir brauchen die Hilfe von jedem. (We need the help of everybody.) Jede/r sollte pünktlich erscheinen. (Everybody should arrive on time.) Alle sollten aufmerksam zuhören. (Everybody should listen attentively.) In contrast, "miteinander" would be used in sentences like: Wir arbeiten miteinander an diesem Projekt. (We are working together on this project.) Die beiden Länder haben eine gute Beziehung miteinander. (The two countries have a good relationship with each other.) Lasst uns offen miteinander kommunizieren. (Let's communicate openly with each other.) Familie ist wichtig, weil wir miteinander unterstützen. (Family is important because we support each other.) As you can see, "miteinander" is used to express the idea of mutual interaction or cooperation, rather than referring to "everybody."
