Questions & Answers about Κάθε άτομο στην τάξη μιλάει λίγο ελληνικά.

What does κάθε mean here, and how is it different from όλα τα (“all the”)?

Κάθε means each / every and talks about the members of a group one by one (distributive meaning).

• Κάθε άτομο στην τάξη…
  → “Each / every person in the class…” (we think of them individually)

• Όλα τα άτομα στην τάξη…
  → “All the people in the class…” (we see them more as a group)

In everyday Greek these are often interchangeable in meaning, but:

• κάθε emphasizes individuals one by one
• όλα τα emphasizes the group as a whole

Why is there no article before κάθε άτομο? Why not Το κάθε άτομο?

With κάθε in a general statement, Greek normally omits the article:

• Κάθε άτομο στην τάξη μιλάει…
  = “Every person in the class speaks…”

If you say:

• Το κάθε άτομο στην τάξη μιλάει…

this is also correct but slightly different in feel. Το κάθε άτομο:

• is more emphatic / specific, like “each and every person” or
  “each individual person”
• can sound a bit more stylistic or emotional in some contexts

For a neutral, general statement, κάθε άτομο without an article is the default.

Why is άτομο neuter if it means “person”? Isn’t “person” usually masculine or feminine?
