關於Respective的意思和用法的提問

A: Belonging separately to two or more people or things

A: belonging or relating separately to each of two or more people or things.

A: Here, it means "related to."

A: each is used to refer to two people or items in the same way e.g " they each got 10 dollars"

respective (or more commonly "respectively") is for when you need to distinguish between multiple parties or objects. e.g " Sam and David recieved 10 dollars and 15 dollars respectively". this is used in order so Sam receives the ten dollars and David received 15 dollars.

sorry if this is confusing, respectively is a fairly complex term with rules. the subjects come first, then the verb then the object.

S=subject
O=object

e.g. "S1, S2 - verb - O1, O2 - respectively"

without respectively you wouldn't be able to determine which object is related to which subject.

"Sarah, John, and Sam play netball, hockey and baseball respectively"

"Adam, Nina, Thomas, and James like pasta, steak, fish, and grapes the most, respectively.

eachとrespectiveの違いですが、どちらも「おのおのの、それぞれの」という意味です。一般的には、eachはそれに続く名詞が単数、respectiveは複数となります。ただし、場合によって、respectiveが単数となることもあります。

eachは、個別をそれぞれ注目しているということで、”おのおのの”という意味になります。一方、respectiveの場合の”おのおのの”は、全体的に見ています。

I know each boy.
私はおのおのの少年を知っている(ひとりひとりを知っている)。

I know respective boys.
私はおのおのの少年達を知っている(少年がひとりひとりそれぞれだと知っている)。

前者は個別の少年それぞれ一人一人のことを知っているという意味です。後者は、少年達がそれぞれ個別で違うってことを知っているということです。一人一人をよく知っているということではありません。
