Привет, Друзья!

У меня маленький вопрос: Как по-русски "To each his own"? Я думал, что будет "У каждого свои". У русского языка есть такая фраза? Будет лучше использовать дательний падеж?

Translation, for those who want to compare (and tell me if I asked my question correctly lol):

I have a small question: How would you say in Russian "To each his own"? I was thinking it would be "U kazhdovo svoi". Does Russian have a saying like this? Would it be better to use the Dative case (as opposed to the genitive, for something like "Kazhdomu svoi").

Thanks!

the nearest ...

How do you ask where is the *nearest* of something. For instance, "Where is the nearest store?" or "Where is the nearest metro stop?"

Can you ask someone in a restaurant or store "Kogda vy zakryvajtes'?" In English we just say "When do *you* close?" and it's understood that the person means "When does this store close?" Does it work the same way in Russian or do you need to say something like "Kogda eto kafe zakrivaetsya?"

здорово

здорово

used as a greeting, it seems to be quite popular among young people, but i've seen no mention of it in any of my slang books or usage guides

is it current and trendy, neutral, hopelessly passé or what?

also, where does the stress fall? здОрово или здорОво
