それぞれ (JLPT N3)

À propos de それぞれ

それぞれ is a noun in Japanese that is used similarly to 'each' in English. Like other nouns that can be used adverbially (ほとんど, 沢山(たくさん), and かなり for example), それぞれ regularly comes before a whole sentence, or before a specific noun preceded by の.

Fun Fact

それぞれ comes from the same kanji as 其(それ), the word used to highlight 'that' (close to the listener) in Japanese. Due to this, the literal meaning of それぞれ is 'that and that' (interpreted simply as 'everyone', or 'each).

Lozzinjer:

I thought それぞれ would come before person.

I actually thought so too until I read this, so I checked with a Japanese friend and she said it doesn’t look quite right, but you can say 癖は人それぞれです, which would also be natural.

I also thought it sounded strange but it does appear to be used quite naturally in Japanese as shown in these examples.

It also has its own definition at Jisho.org

Expression:
to each his own; people differ; different people (have different likes)

Would anyone happen to know the difference in usage between this point and べつべつ? Thank you!
