# individually

adverb (individually)

«individually» in the English dictionary: everyday and in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## Everyday

1. One at a time, separately, not as a group. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/I/individually/#m1)
2. In a way that fits each single person or thing: each cake was individually decorated. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/I/individually/#m2)

### In the lessons

In school: «work individually, then share with a partner»; «the teacher spoke to us individually». In shops and maths: items «individually wrapped» or «sold individually» (one by one, not in a pack). It tells the reader each one is treated alone.

### Examples

- The teacher marked each test individually. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/I/individually/#x1)

### Note

Adjective: individual; noun: an individual (one person). In maths, «sold individually» means price per single item; compare it with the pack price to find the better deal (e.g. 5 × 50p = £2.50, so the £2 pack saves 50p). Spelling: double l.

## In Jewish tradition

Interpretation: Sefer Yetzirah's idea is that God made all things in relation to one another and not as separate objects. In the primary lessons: In school: «work individually, then share with a partner»; «the teacher spoke to us individually». In shops and maths: items «individually wrapped» or «sold individually» (one by one, not in a pack). It tells the reader each one is treated alone.

### Examples

- The meaning for the SY is: God did not make things by themselves, individually, but rather, He made all things in relationship to all other things. (Sefer Yetzirah, Sefaria community translation) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/I/individually/#x1)

### Note

Adjective: individual; noun: an individual (one person). In maths, «sold individually» means price per single item; compare it with the pack price to find the better deal (e.g. 5 × 50p = £2.50, so the £2 pack saves 50p). Spelling: double l.
