If you think of the English phrase, "to each their own," it would sound weird to say "to each your own. The English phrase is actually "Each to their own", never in my life have I heard that word order before. Where are you from? I've never heard it like that. In the Internet age it's best not to state things so definitively that can be easily refuted. Both phrases are common in English and simply alternate grammatical firms of the same idea. Both phrases are NOT common; "To each his own" is common, and other forms, such as "To each their own", and "Each to his own", and "Each to their won" the only form that joemotion has heard, apparently exist but are uncommon.

Wikipedia only mentions 2 forms: To each his own, and Each to his own. Google's NGram indicates that the usual form, "To each his own", appears a bit more than 3 times as often as any other form; admittedly, even that is more often than I would have expected.

My reply was to thejoemotion.

A "crazy" quilt is simply a little chaotic or free form in design rather than geometrically precise, and it has it's own beauty. Maybe "Cada loco con su belleza"? In hippie circles back in the day "crazy" meant something like, "wow, that is amazing," rather like "say what!?!

I've actually heard the phrase said as "cada loco con su locura" or "Cada loco a su locura" Has anyone else heard it this way? I really like duolingo and do it every day you should do at lest 30 xp per day if that is your goal. I think this is a cultural thing the phrase "to each their own , Also to each his own. There was a song written with that title covered by many groups but most notable "the Ink Spots" back in the or 50's It means may everyone find their own way and there are no negatives associated with it.

The Spanish translation to an English speaking person any uses the word Crazy and that is not what the phrase in English looks to convey.

Cada loco con su tema. What's the literal translation here? Aristide , Nov 30, Cagey , Nov 30, Thanks to you all! Hi JamesM and others It depends where you are of course lol! In Australia I often hear "each to their own", and occasionally "each to his own". I can't remember ever hearing the other variations. My husband grew up in England and also knows only "each to their own". It means, according to our understanding, that people have their own preferences and so be it. Cagey, Is what you associate with yourself not in itself to do with variations in preference?
