Questions & Answers about Mỗi chiếc áo đều có nhãn quần áo.
What does mỗi mean in this sentence?
Mỗi means each or every.
In Mỗi chiếc áo đều có nhãn quần áo, it tells you that the statement applies to every single shirt/item one by one:
- mỗi chiếc áo = each shirt
- not just some shirts
- not just the shirts in general
So mỗi is used when you want to talk about individual members of a group.
Why is chiếc used here?
Chiếc is a classifier.
Vietnamese often uses classifiers between a number/quantifier and a noun. In this sentence:
- mỗi
- chiếc
- áo
- chiếc
- each
- classifier + shirt
Chiếc is commonly used for single physical objects, including some clothing items. So chiếc áo is a natural way to say a shirt or one garment.
English does not usually need classifiers here, so this is something English speakers often have to get used to.
Why does the sentence use both mỗi and đều? Don’t they both mean something like every/all?
