个别

个别 means 'individual' or 'particular' in English. It refers to a single person, thing, or instance, emphasizing distinctness from a group or general category.

The character 个 (gè) originally meant 'a unit' or 'a single item,' and it is often used as a measure word for objects or people. 别 (bié) means 'other' or 'different,' and together they form 个别, which highlights the uniqueness or separation of an individual from others.

个别 is commonly used in formal and informal contexts to refer to specific cases or individuals. For example, in legal or administrative settings, it might be used to describe a particular case or person. In daily conversation, it can emphasize that something applies only to one person or situation, not everyone.
