Question

Our phrasebook has this entry

to each his own = sobre gustos no hay nada escrito

is the Spanish correct?

Answer 1

ian-hill,

as already mentioned:

cada loco con su tema

cada quien su gusto

sobre gustos no hay nada escrito

cada quien con su pareja

Y hay más, los cuales no recuerdo en este momento.

Excellent summary, you get my vote but everyone is free to choose. - annierats, Nov 21, 2011

Thank you. :) - chileno, Nov 21, 2011

Answer 2

I think this may be a matter of regionalism. The phrasebook version makes perfect sense, however in Mexico, "A cada quien su gusto" is common.

Answer 3

The best English version I've heard is, "Everyone is entitled to their own ridiculous opinion!"

Jejeje...I love it! - --Mariana--, Nov 23, 2011

Answer 4

• Entre gustos no hay disgustos. Para gustos se hicieron los colores

.

Nice ones. - annierats, Nov 21, 2011

Answer 5

The irony of the responses to question is great! So many ways to express this thought...I guess, to each his own!

End of story DR - I accepted chileno's answer - ian-hill, Nov 23, 2011

Answer 6

Well, that's a matter of taste.
What would be wrong with it?

Because in my opinion "sobre gustos no hay nada escrito" is closer to "nothing is written in stone" - ian-hill, Nov 20, 2011

Fair enough Ian, I didn't think of that one. We all have our pet pigeons.. - annierats, Nov 21, 2011

Answer 7

I think you can also say

''A cada cual lo suyo''

o

''Cada persona a su propio gusto''

I hope this helps

I've heard this too: "a cada cual lo suyo." - --Mariana--, Nov 23, 2011

Answer 8

I'll bet it is Ian. Like so many other roundabout ways of saying things in Spanish why should this be any different. There is nothing in writing when it comes to personal taste-to each his own.

Answer 9

Otra opción:

Al que le gusta le sabe...

Answer 10

hmmm Pesta:

How about..."opinions are like one's behind, everybody has got one"

:) - ian-hill, Nov 23, 2011

Answer 11

In English is the same:

Just one that I can think of at this moment...

Different folks, different strokes

Answer 12

Es cierto...cada loco con su tema.

Y cada tema tiene su locura - 005faa61, Nov 20, 2011

This is a most informative lot of answers, just pick and choose. - annierats, Nov 21, 2011
