respektive

respective

Ett ord som används för att koppla ihop flera personer eller saker med varsin specifik uppgift eller egenskap i samma ordning som de nämndes.

Respektive has two main uses:

Respective; each person’s or thing’s own. It refers separately to the members of a group.
- Eleverna gick till sina respektive klassrum.
  “The students went to their respective classrooms.”
And / respectively. It links two or more items, often indicating that they correspond in the order given.
- Priserna är 100 respektive 200 kronor.
  “The prices are 100 and 200 kronor, respectively.”

As an adjective, respektive is typically placed before a noun and is not inflected. It can also function as a linking word between items.

It comes from Latin respectivus, meaning “relating to” or “having regard to.”

Var och en av means “each one of” and can express a similar idea of separate individuals, though it is not always interchangeable.
Gemensam means “shared” or “common” and contrasts with the sense of each having their own.
