"Jeder und jede wird sie anders beantworten."

[st1va]

Why is jeder und jede singular?

[MelvinCheung]

is 'Jeder und jede' an idiom?

[MelvinCheung]

and how can 'sie' be translated to 'it'?

[SelphieB]

Presumably, 'it' is a question; question is 'die Frage', a feminine noun, and is therefore referred to as 'sie' not 'es'.

[MelvinCheung]

so, if the sentence is "Jeder und jede wird sie anders antworten."(instead of beantworten), then the meaning will be "Everyone will answer them/her differently.", isn't it? (I have seen another discussion about antworten and beantworten, but I couldn't find it again)

[SelphieB]

Hmm, good question, I'm not sure about the difference between antworten and beantworten actually. Hopefully someone can answer this....
