У каждого свои проблемы: ...

Интересует не дословный перевод, а соответствующая по смыслу поговорка на английском.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 5 years ago

Не думаю, что у нас есть такая поговорка. Мы просто говорим Everybody has problems.

N Oadded a comment 5 years ago

Probably "their pearls are too puny" is more suitable. Pearl is countable noun. Right?

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 5 years ago

Вы это нейтиву пытаетесь объяснить? 😁

N Oadded a comment 5 years ago

Tatiana Gerasimenko. А что я не так написал?

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 5 years ago

Judging by Uly's translation, pearl is an uncountable noun, at least in that translation. Ask him.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 5 years ago

Sorry, I just woke up and saw this. Looks like Tatiana already answered your question it can be countable or uncountable.

N Oadded a comment 5 years ago

Uly, thank you.
