每一个人 vs. 每个人

[Beo]

hi guys,

 

I saw this word group in a text: 每一个人

 

Can someone explain me why I have to add the 一 before 个? wouldn't it work if I just write 每个人?

 

The whole sentence is: 大部分人每天晚上至少应该睡七个小时，但是这个标准 不适合每一个人，有百分之四十的人即使只睡五个小时也很有精神。

 

Cheers Beo

I think 一 just emphasises that there are no exceptions. I would say  每个人 is like "every person", whereas 每一个人 is like "every single person".

Thanks!

 

I've just noticed something else....

 

In this part: ....有百分之四十的人即使只睡五个小时也很有精神

 

Why do In need the 也 when there is already 即使?

And shouldn't the 很 be placed after 有?

即使。。。也。。。　structure

Thanks! Do you also know why there is a 很 placed after 有?

Using 很有 -- 很 before 有 -- is a very common way of adding emphasis. 很 is often stressed.

If we say 很有意思、很有趣、很有名、很有钱、etc, isn't this because 有意思、有趣、有名，有钱 are actually adjectives in their own right?

 

Whereas in this case I don't see 有精神 in the dictionary, so presumably here it's for emphasis?
