What is the difference between каждый and всякий?

Comments

No difference

But is каждый more common? I've never seen всякий before.

[xyliya.livejournal.com]

every day - каждый день, but not всякий день (or year, month)

[dobryi-drake.livejournal.com]

Each one and every

[pyenot.livejournal.com]

каждый - everyone
всякий - anyone

i think so...

I think the difference is like between "any" and "every".

I'd say 'каждый' = 'every', and 'всякий' = 'any'. (*I'm a native Ru speaker :-) )

My opinion: the word "всякий" isn't so useful and it has kind of negative meaning sometimes.
For example, you can say "это не для каждого", what means "it's not for everyone". But "это не для всякого" sounds humiliating, though means the same.

Same as between "every" and "any"

Very often used in the phrase "На всякий случай" -- "Just in case"
