Friends, I notice that both 每 and 各 mean each, now I wonder if they are perfectly synonime, or they have differences in meaning and usage.

 

I appreciate your resposne

Their meanings are the probably same, but as we used them in different ways, they must had differences.

What they accentuate are different.

每 means each one is the same as the others in this group. What they all do should be the same, and no one is special. That's why we use 每 very often in China.

各 accentuate that each one in same group is different, so everyone should shows different. They're always mutual independence. Sometimes 各 means everyone do something alone or one by one.

每 means every, like in everybody, every day etc
各 means more "each" like in 各方面 - each side (in an argument for example)

I hope that helps.

I know that 每 is using like "every"
i'm using ”每“ in the "every" meaning,
like 每个人(every one), 每天(everyday), 每个月(every month).
I think 各 is using in another context. Actually, i've never used that in my speech.
