HELP! Translation
|

Hi everybody! I need help to translate in English this Italian sentence: "Ce n �� per tutti i gusti"... For non-Italian speakers it means something like this: "There �s something for every taste/flavouring". Thanks in advance.

Hi Sabry,
I think that the context would help a lot... Please write what the "ne" refers to, as your translation as "there �s something" is not precise. |

It �s "n ��", that is "ne �". "Ne" is an indefinite pronoun usually translated with some and compounds depending to what it refers. In this idiomatic expression the sense is that anyone can find something s/he likes.... |

Ciao cara, Hi dear,
I would say �there �s for each own ! �. That �s the same idea that �each own has one �s tastes � in the meaning.
Buona fine settimana. Good weekend.
Marisa.

sabry7011,
I �m guessing that this is a general statement, meaning that in life/in the world there exists something for every taste. In that case, a close equivalent would be "There �s something for everyone". Although "There �s something for every taste" isn �t a saying in English, it certainly works well, so I would go with that.
@maryse,
Your options aren �t quite right. I think you are using "own" when you mean "one" or "his or her own".

"Each to his own" would be the English translation, I think :)
