JLPT N3

～には～の～がある

Each [X] has its own [Y/Z]

Structure

[Noun 1]には[Noun 1]の[Noun 2]がある

How it works

This pattern emphasizes that each individual, group, or thing has its own distinct characteristics, problems, or ways of doing things, implying uniqueness or particularity.

Examples

人には人の悩みがある。

Each person has their own worries.

Common mistakes

Translating it too directly, leading to English sentences that sound redundant; the nuance is 'its own unique...'

Tip

Visualize it as 'for X, there is X's Y', highlighting individuality.
