Questions & Answers about Ognuno è diverso.
Why is the verb singular (è) when "everyone" implies multiple people?
Could I use ciascuno here instead of ognuno?
If "everyone" includes women, why does the adjective end in -o (diverso)?
When making a general statement about a mixed group of people, Italian grammar defaults to the masculine singular form. However, if you were talking exclusively about a group of women (like "each of the sisters"), you would change both the pronoun and the adjective to feminine: ognuna è diversa.
What is the difference between saying Ognuno è diverso and Tutti sono diversi?
