Pattern: `mỗi + [noun] + [amount] · mỗi + [time] + [number] + lần`

Level: A2 (our estimate) · Register: everyday

Typed without accents: moi

Variants:

- (chỉ) mỗi một (just one)

*Mỗi* means "each", and it almost always comes with an amount: what each one gets, costs or does. The amount follows the noun: *mỗi người một trăm ngàn* (100,000 each), *mỗi người một cái* (one each).

For how often, the time comes first and the number of times after it, the other way round from "three times a week": *Mỗi tuần em đi bơi ba lần.* You'll also hear *một tuần ba lần*. On medicine packets: *Ngày uống ba lần, mỗi lần một viên.* Three times a day, one tablet each time.

You know *mỗi* from *mỗi ngày* and *mỗi sáng*, every day and every morning; *mỗi lần* is "each time".

*Mỗi* looks at people or things one at a time. *Mọi* takes them all together: *mỗi người* is each person, *mọi người* everyone. *Từng* goes through them one by one, in turn.

After *chỉ* (only) or *còn* (left), *mỗi* means "just that one": *Em còn mỗi một trăm ngàn.* I've only got 100,000 left.
