Meaning and Usage

The word '개개인' refers to each individual person separately, emphasizing individuality within a group. It is often used in formal or academic contexts to highlight personal responsibility, opinions, or abilities.

Common Collocations

  • 개개인의 책임 (individual responsibility): highlights personal accountability.

Usage Notes

'개개인' is more formal and specific than just '사람' (person) or '개인' (individual). It stresses the individuality within a collective. Avoid confusing it with '개인' alone, which can be more general. When using '개개인', the speaker usually wants to emphasize that something applies distinctly to every single person.
