What is the difference between 各 and 毎{ごと}?


I think the difference is mainly just a nuance:

  * 毎{ごと}・・・each ・・・それぞれの
  * 各・・・every・・・すべての 

I think 毎 is used mainly with 名詞や動詞

  * 「年毎に」
  * 「会う人毎に」

Or there is any other difference?




This question is interesting for me. We say `毎年`(every year), `毎日`(everyday),
`毎回`/`毎度`(each time), `各人`/`各自`/`各位`(each person), `各国`/`国ごと`(each country),
`各地`(each place), `各所`/`各部`(each parts), etc... Also say `各年`, `各回`, `人ごと`,
`年毎`, rarely say `各日`, however DON'T say `毎人`, `毎国`, `毎地`, `各度`.

I think those are decided by common practice and no rigorous rules. You had
better look up those words in a dictionary before use. It's irregular.
