About ~ずつ
ずつ, or 宛 in its kanji form, is a suffix in Japanese that is used to highlight things that occur/exist in specific amounts. It is often translated simply as 'each', 'per', or 'at a time'. Depending on the source, ずつ may also be considered to be an adverbial particle. However, this will not change the way that it is utilized.
ずつ is used directly after the number/amount of something that it is highlighting as being the 'at a time' grouping.
Fun Fact
The kanji, 宛, literally means 'allotment', and refers to distinct groupings. It is regularly used in reference to where people live (their address being considered their 'allotment'). In these cases though, it has the reading 宛. For ずつ, 'allotment' may also be used as an accurate translation in almost all situations.
- 一グループずつ前に出て来てください。Please come to the front one group at a time. (Group = allotment)
-
パーティーに来る人は一人一つずつ食べ物を持って来てください。Whoever is coming to the party, please bring your own portion of food. (Portion = allotment)
